Highlighting issues in society that affect members at work and at home.

A message from longtime Committee Chair, Angie Dickinson:

"Dear Members it has been my greatest honour to have lead the V&B team for the last 17 years, we’ve come a long way and I know that the team will be in good hands going forward with Dale and Megan. Being a CUSW Member has been the highlight of my career thus far, and you all are a big part of my life as my CUSW Family. Be safe and always treat each other with kindness and respect.
Best regards,
Angie"

Today I am sharing a TED Talk from past UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (1997-2002) Mary Robinson: Why Climate Change is a Threat to Human Rights.

About the video:

Climate change is unfair. While rich countries can fight against rising oceans and dying farm fields, poor people worldwide have their lives upended -- and their human rights threatened -- by killer storms, starvation and the loss of their lands. Mary Robinson asks us to join the movement for worldwide climate justice.
