Program Introduction

Public Safety builds upon our current work with various grassroots ethnocultural community groups to promote a pro-equity, intersectionality and anti-racist outlook among communities within mainstream organizations. The program aims to build specific supportive relationships across racialized groups and mitigate impacts of discrimination and racism.

Services We Provide

• Community Conversation Circles where community members can share their experiences of how racism and other forms of discrimination affect their public safety and daily lives.

• Knowledge sharing and capacity-building activities to help community members understand racism, how to engage the systems, and mitigate impacts on public safety.

• Develop the collective voices of community members to be effective in shifting the needle on issues of equity.

• Advocacy and collaboration with stakeholders to influence policy and drive system changes.
