Confronting Anti-Black Racism in Canada

The Issue

Confronting Anti-Black Racism in Canada is a national community-led coalition and petition demanding real, enforceable, structural change from the Canadian government. This petition is not symbolic — it is a call for legislative action, institutional accountability, and systemic reform to address the ongoing realities of anti-Black racism embedded within Canadian systems.

We are formally petitioning the Canadian Government to take immediate action on the following demands:

Legal recognition of anti-Black racism in Canadian law
Creation of specific anti-Black racism legislation
Establishment of government accountability frameworks
Mandatory institutional reform standards across public systems
A formal public apology to Black Canadians
Implementation of structural policy change mechanisms
This coalition recognizes that anti-Black racism is not an individual problem — it is a structural, institutional, and systemic injustice that requires policy-level solutions, not performative statements.

We call on community members, organizations, and allies to stand with us. Your signature matters. Your voice matters. Your involvement matters. Each signature and every act of participation sends a clear and powerful message to the Canadian government that communities across this country are united in demanding justice, accountability, and real change.

Together, our collective voices will send a loud, unmistakable message:
Canada must move beyond acknowledgement and commit to structural transformation.
