RACISM FREE ONTARIO PARTNER+VOLUNTEER CALL-OUT:

The Racism Free Ontario Initiative is a 100 day anti-racism campaign, across Ontario. During the campaign, community organizations, groups, individuals and media from across the province will be working together to create awareness about the impact of racism and about potential solutions to addressing various aspects of systemic racism. 

CASSA is encouraging you to hold an event as a way to mark March 21st, the International Day for Elimination of Racial Discrimination in Ontario. 

Please email us or call us if you or your organization wishes to join the campaign. It is very simple. You can be part of the campaign with offering to host an activity (i.e. teach-in, movie night, seminar, workshop, town hall, booth, poster, forum or anything else you consider appropriate for your organization). Last year we held 8 activities through partners, and this year, we hope to have at least twenty activities across the province through partners. We hope you can join and help us advance anti-racism work in Ontario.

The Council of Agencies Serving South Asians (CASSA) is currently recruiting a team of volunteers to help out with the Racism Free Ontario campaign, please contact us if you wish to be involved in an individual capacity as well. Please email  us at racismfreeontario@cassa.on.ca if you are interested in working with CASSA on this project.
