HeForShe McGill is a student-run organization inspired by the UN Women Gender Equality Solidarity Movement. We are dedicated to promoting gender equality in all corners of society by starting with McGill and the greater Montreal community. Often, male-identifying individuals don’t feel included in the feminist movement, or think that gender inequality is not an issue that affects them. However, it affects people of all genders and having a more gender equal world benefits everyone. Our club is committed to providing a space where people of all genders can have a conversation surrounding the topic of gender equality. This includes, but is not limited to, discussion surrounding equal pay, violence against women, toxic masculinity, detrimental gender stereotypes and many more. We strive to actively engage a wide cross-section of people in these conversations. Our club hopes to spread awareness about the realities of gender inequality, and aims to use conversations to inform solutions and better the lives of anyone affected by gender inequality.

The Indigenous Student Alliance (ISA) is a community of Indigenous students and allies based at McGill University. The ISA aims to foster Indigenous community growth, unite Indigenous students and allies, and develop relationships with other marginalized communities. The ISA’s work is in constant conversation with the ideas and hopes of Indigenous students, with the goal of bringing them to life in our community. In recent years, this has led to concerted efforts in advocacy work, allyship with other marginalized groups, and Indigenous community-building. Before the pandemic, the ISA could be found selling their bannock on campus, organizing or attending demonstrations and community events, contributing to panel discussions, crafting at First Peoples House, and just hanging out and building community! They intend to continue efforts like these in a safe and hybrid-virtual environment this year.
