Resources to fight racism

Anti-racist behaviours are needed to combat racism. As part of our continued efforts to fight racism, Action ontarienne put together a list of resources in French about systemic racism and how to engage in anti-racist behaviours. If you have a relevant resource (in French) that you’d like us to add, drop us a line.

Some resources are also available in English, but most are offered in French.
