Our Mission Statement

Our mission is to serve as a catalyst for like-minded organizations and individuals committed to dismantling racism and fostering equality. We strive to:

  • Harness the power of collective resistance against racism wherever it exists.
  • Empower and amplify the political forces of Black, Indigenous, and people of color by serving as a hub for information and action.
  • Support the educational efforts required to raise awareness and enlighten the broader community.  
  • Deliver educational events led by experts and experienced individuals within their respective fields.
  • Learn, grow, and stand in solidarity with those engaged in the struggle against racism and discrimination.
  • Build a broad base of support, with a primary focus on advancing the rights and well-being of Indigenous and Black communities.
  • Drive the change we seek, inspiring others to do the same.
  • Acknowledge and embrace the principle that “An injury to one is an injury to all.”
