Endorsements

"As someone who has been a candidate for public office and now serves as a labour leader here in Victoria, I know authenticity matters. I want to support people I trust to stand by their word and put in the work to make their community better. That's why I'm supporting Maiya."

“Over the last couple of years, I’ve worked closely with Maiya as we unionized our workplace and negotiated a collective agreement. I’ve seen Maiya working hard to make sure everyone felt represented and included throughout that process, and pushing to make sure we got a good outcome for everyone. I know Maiya will bring that same work ethic to the school board, and will fight to make sure SD61 is vibrant, inclusive, and supports each and every student."

“As a parent, I wholeheartedly endorse Maiya Beech for SD61 trustee. Maiya took care of my kid at daycare for several years and in that same time organized their coworkers to unionize, bringing thoughtful care to all of it. It goes without saying that I trust them with my kid, and I trust them to fight for all of our kids as a school board trustee.”

"I have had the privilege and honour to work alongside Maiya. I have witnessed their passion and dedication in advocating for not only improving access to education and resources for children but also fair and just working conditions. I know that they will bring that same passion and dedication to the role of School Board Trustee. I believe they will bring a much needed perspective."

"As a father of a 3 year old, a busy community member, and a union organizer, I endorse Maiya Beech as a SD61 trustee. Maiya stands up for the community and stands up for workers. They don’t just stand up for us, but they actively engage, listen, and organize. Whether responding to a need or proactively building connections, Maiya is a thoughtful and compassionate person who makes sure the needs of the community are met!"

"Maiya Beech knows how to organize and create a community of people that stand up for each other. With their commitment to equity and real experience in the labour movement, I know that Maiya will be the fierce advocate that students, families, and workers need on the school board. I'm proud to endorse them for SD61 Trustee."
