ActionDignity is proud to announce substantial progress in our Collaboration and Commitment towards Racial Equity (CORE) Project. This year, we have not only provided Bystander Training and initiated essential conversations about Lateral Racism, but we have also awarded seed grants to 10 dedicated community partners. These grants will support the implementation of community action plans aimed at addressing and combating racism within their respective communities.
Collaboration and Commitment towards Racial Equity (CORE) is a project that aims to bring racialized communities together to advance the initiatives of the federal, provincial, and municipal governments in deepening an understanding of racism and building capacity and advocacy skills of communities in addressing racism and discrimination. The project aims at supporting, strengthening, and sustaining communities to build the necessary civic infrastructure to confront and dismantle racism and foster equitable opportunities to participate fully in Canadian society.
