Racism actively contributed to the development of our systems of ownership, employment, health care, education, and nearly every other aspect of our lives.
History has taught us that eliminating discriminatory laws alone won’t be enough to bring about true justice.

These previous policies shaped our society and established ingrained habits and behaviours that can only be changed and reformated by new policies that are equally strong and effective.

Lip service and cosmetic moves won’t take us too far. In other words, every systemic issue calls for a systemic response – radically different than our approaches to date. We must work toward structural equality in order to confront systemic racism.
