We encourage all community members to reflect, educate and engage in the ongoing fight against anti-Black racism and discrimination and to celebrate the strength and perseverance of Black communities in Canada.

We must also acknowledge that the end of slavery was followed by a series of ongoing discriminatory and repressive practices and laws, the effects of which are still experienced to this day.

[blmsudbury @blmsudbury]

We call for @Sudbury_Pride to decenter police within their programming and to acknowledge their harmful actions.
