An electric drum brake comprises a back plate. Shoes are operatively mounted to the backplate and displaceable to a deployed condition against a wheel drum from a retracted condition. An electrically powered actuation mechanism is adapted to convert electric power to a movement of the shoes to the deployed condition. A safety actuation mechanism comprises a lever having a first end adapted to receive a mechanical force. A joint configuration connects the lever to at least one of the shoes to convert movements of the lever to movements of at least one of the shoes between the deployed condition and the retracted condition without said electric power. A biasing member produces a biasing action against at least one of the lever and the joint configuration to maintain the shoes in the deployed condition, the mechanical force being against the biasing action to maintain the shoes in the retracted condition.
