ALL BLOOD IS FINALLY EQUAL

In 2021, we joined, we joined the All Blood is Equal coalition to end the arbitrary and discriminatory blood ban in Canada, which required a 3 month period of abstinence for gay, bisexual, two-spirit, queer men and trans women to donate blood.

In 2022, Canadian Blood Services officially announced the end of this policy!

Thank you for coming together with us and All Blood is Equal to fight for this issue. Over 20,000 of you joined in signing the petition to advocate for this change!

A long campaign, finally realized. Let’s continue to drive change together.
