From Pride-Inspired Stamp Collections to Sun Awareness Campaigns
Georgia Wray Norsten — June 15, 2025 — Social Good
June 2025 activism trends highlight the power of public campaigns and cultural storytelling in shaping awareness and driving advocacy. From honoring queer history to tackling rising health risks, this month’s leading activism trends focus on visibility, education, and long-term impact.
Canada Post released ‘Places of Pride,’ a commemorative stamp collection honoring four historic sites tied to Canada’s 2SLGBTQIA+ rights movement. Featuring custom illustrations, the stamps spotlight pivotal spaces like Club Carousel in Calgary and Hanlan’s Point Beach in Toronto, amplifying stories of resilience, protest, and cultural affirmation -- including the 1990 gathering that introduced the term 'Two-Spirit' to recognize Indigenous queer identities.
Meanwhile, the Canadian Dermatology Association launched ‘Sun Safety in the True North,’ an expanded national campaign during Sun Awareness Month. Through events like 'Check Your Skin Day,' shade structure installations, and mobile screening units, the initiative promotes early detection and sun protection across diverse Canadian climates. Together, these efforts show how activism today blends commemoration with community-centered action.
