NDP Convention, Gender Equity Cards

The New Democratic Party (NDP) convention in Canada featured a controversial "equity card" system designed to prioritize speakers based on their level of perceived privilege. Delegates used yellow and red cards to move ahead in the speaking line, leading to internal disputes over the "speaking order" and the value of identity-based participation. One delegate expressed frustration that her "gender equity card" was ignored by the moderator.
