Human Rights & Equity
Anti-Racism, Equity and Human Rights Summit
The AREHR Summit (formerly the Human Rights and Equity Caucus), creates space for members from equity-deserving communities to share their experiences, identify common concerns and exchange strategies for challenging discrimination and advancing equity. It also provides opportunities for allies to strengthen their understanding, demonstrate solidarity and take meaningful action alongside members from equity-deserving communities.
ONA’s AREHR work includes the following groups:
We recognize that no community is monolithic. Members hold multiple, intersecting identities that shape their experiences of inclusion, exclusion, discrimination and belonging. Programming is designed to reflect these diverse realities and amplify the voices of members whose experiences may not always be heard.
Applications for a subsidies to attend the 2026 AREHR Summit are now open.
Eligible ONA members are invited to apply. A limited number of subsidies are available.
The application period closes on September 14, 2026.
The 2026 AREHR Summit will focus on the experiences of 2SLGBTQI and racialized members, with particular attention to intersectionality and the diversity that exists within and across both communities.
Through caucusing, storytelling, and interactive learning, participants will explore how they can support one another, strengthen advocacy and contribute to more inclusive workplaces, communities, and union spaces.
