Anti-racism work on PEI has been going on for decades, but only really gained traction, and legislative support, as from summer 2020 when the Black Cultural Society and BIPOC USHR tabled a petition with a number of recommendations to the legislative assembly of PEI. One of these recommendations was the creation of a provincial anti-racism advisory position that would analyse all legislation from an anti-oppression lens.
In September 2021, this advisor was finally hired, and additionally, an anti-racism table was created to provide on-the-group perspectives and expertise to the executive council.
Here to talk about all things anti-racism and the path forward, with us today is PEI’s Anti-Racism Advisor, Human Rights Commissioner, co-founder of BIPOC USHR, and community organizer, Danté Bazard.
