So @EqualVoiceCA edited the trash statement they originally put out to make it seem like they “hear y’all concerns” except all they did was take credit for all of the work their ex racialized employees did. Especially the stuff we fought for #NotSoEqualVoice #cdnpoli

Looking for legal professionals of colour to participate in an upcoming panel that we are hosting about racism in the legal field. If you or anyone you know would be able to participate in that conversation, DM us! https://t.co/PmOvwFjXkm

[CUSA RISE @cusarise]

Come stop by in the atrium today and watch @Art_Life_Andre put together an amazing piece 😍😍

[CUSA RISE @cusarise]

Thank you to @wickdchiq , @amykishek, @mcrae_eric , @BrittanyAmofah, Rachel Gopaul and Ahmed Abdalla for being a part of our panel! We are so grateful for the discussions that came out of tonight #ASeatAtTheTable

[CUSA RISE @cusarise]

Thank you for coming and sharing your experiences with all of us! It was great to have you

[Brittany Andrew-Amofah @BrittanyAmofah]

Thank you @RaceEthnicityCU for inviting me to speak on a panel I wish I had during my time at university.

And thank you to all the students that requested for me to come <3

[CUSA RISE @cusarise]

@mcrae_eric says it's important to call people out but it's okay to pick your battles and that it's important to feel safe enough to do so #ASeatAtTheTable

[CUSA RISE @cusarise]

@mcrae_eric says it's inescapable because stereotypes are projected on to people of colour. "It says more about them then it does about you" #ASeatAtTheTable

[CUSA RISE @cusarise]

"I don't want to be the stereotype and I don't want to be the token person all the time" - students asks panelists how they navigate that

[CUSA RISE @cusarise]

@BrittanyAmofah says it's an ongoing challenge for her as her audience has changed over the course of her career from the community-based approached she took going into public policy to speaking with elected officials #ASeatAtTheTable

[CUSA RISE @cusarise]

@womyns_centre coordinator Harar asks panelists how advocates can bridge the gap between the communities they advocate for and themselves as they begin to access more elitist and white spaces
