YWCA Regina received 3 million in funding from the Saskatchewan government

The funding for the women's organization, which finds itself under fire for hiring a transactivist as the headlining speaker for the annual Women of Distinction awards, was earmarked for housing for vulnerable women.

The grant was topped up with an additional 2 million dollars from the feds.

YWCAs nationwide have issued identical statements of solidarity with their keynote speaker as critics blasted the feminist organization for hiring Fae Johnstone, who also sits on the national board of the YWCA.

Meanwhile, Saskatchewan women who object to a biological man stealing the opportunities of women and girls are being silenced on social media.

Rebel News will give these women and their supporters a voice through our petition and email campaign which calls on the YWCA Regina to rescind Johnstone's speaking engagement.

Fire Fae!

The Regina YWCA, a women’s organization with a mandate to eliminate racism, empower women, stand up for social justice, help families, and strengthen communities, has hired a biological male to speak on behalf of women’s issues.https://t.co/svzXDY3C8V.
