Honoured to have the endorsement of CUPE Ontario, which represents 300,000 workers — 40% of the Canadian Union of Public Employees’ total membership.
I stand with their heroic members as they educate, care for us, and keep the province running every day — and fight to protect our precious public systems from privatization and underfunding.

The quote in the text box is from CUPE Ontario and says: "The Lewis campaign reflects long-standing demands from [CUPE Ontario] members... With Avi Lewis as leader, we believe the NDP can deepen its connection with workers and communities, and build the broad coalition needed to deliver real change."](https://cdn.mstdn.ca/media_attachments/files/115/969/329/951/918/287/original/1362329010542334.jpg)
