Statement on Anti-Black Racism by Institute for Canadian Citizenship

The ICC was founded on a simple principle: that no Canadian is any more Canadian than any other. We believe that whether you’ve been here for 5 weeks, 5 years, or your ancestors were here 5000 years ago, we are all equal. But we know that simply isn’t the lived reality for too many Canadians and that’s why we work every day to create a more inclusive Canada and world.

We join the voices risen around the world in anger, outrage, and sorrow. Systemic racism — anti-Black racism — is not a problem confined to the U.S., it is still very present in Canada, as well. Canada can never be truly inclusive while Black people continue to be harmed by systemic racism and oppression. We know these issues are immense, overwhelming, and even traumatic. But to our community, we say: resist the urge to disengage.
Instead, let’s look at how we can use this moment of global attention to bring about sustained change. At the ICC we talk a lot about active citizenship and how it looks different for everyone. No matter what lane you’re in — protesting, posting on social, or getting politically engaged — what matters is that we’re all moving in the same direction.  Together, we can build inclusive communities and a country that lives up to its highest ideals of multiculturalism, diversity, and equality.
