The Families of the Waterloo Classic

Statement on anti-black racism
Staying silent is not neutral. Simply being “not racist” is not enough. Our silence is equal to the anti-black discrimination that is so pervasive in every aspect of Canadian life. It is what we do at this time that is more critical in the fight to dismantle racism than any words we could speak. Run […]
