Anti-Racism Panel Discussion

Racism

The Poetic Justice Foundation, in collaboration with the University of the Fraser Valley's Race and Anti-Racism Network, hosted a critical panel discussion and dialogue on Anti-Racism. This timely conversation was spurred by the alarming increase in Anti-Chinese violence and hate crimes across Canada, alongside the transformative #BlackLivesMatter movement in the United States. Our dialogue delved into the entrenched racism permeating Canadian society, while also exploring actionable solutions to cultivate an anti-racist ethos across various domains, including journalism, activism, and education. Our esteemed panelists shared their diverse experiences and perspectives, fostering a space for open and constructive dialogue with participants.
