Anti-Racism Resources

Anti-Racism Resources

Social Planning Council of Winnipeg

For anyone who still believes we do not have systemic racism in Canada, please look at these statistics. If your takeaway is that the people of colour are somehow inferior and that is why they are not succeeding, then you are a racist. If you understand the reasons why so many are left behind is because the barriers they face are simply too insurmountable for far too many, then please have a look at the resources we have gathered so you can take some actions. 

 

Resources:

  • PAST: Reflect!

    • Check out this list of resources where you can learn about the history and background information on racism in Canada

  • PRESENT: Be Informed!

    • What is happening today and why? Find out what the current issues are about.

  • FUTURE: Take Action!

    • See the different things you can do to support/promote racial justice and the black community henceforth.

 

One last note on numbers, when we released the  Broken Promise, Stolen Futures: Child and Family Poverty in Manitoba report card, we highlighted that child poverty in Manitoba and all across Canada is both gendered and racialized.  Please have a look at this graph for the evidence:

This chart provides the poverty rates for Indigenous children[xxiv, xxv], immigrant children (children of persons who are or have ever been landed immigrants or permanent residents)[xxvi] and racialized children (persons other than Indigenous Peoples who are non-Caucasian in race, or non-white in colour)[xxvii].

To paraphrase Angela Davis, it’s not enough to *not* be racist — you need to be anti-racist.

Executive Director
