We all have the right to be treated equally, regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, language, age, abilities or other differences. Yet incidents of hate and racism, both overt and systemic, persist and, in many cases, have risen, particularly during the pandemic. Hate takes many forms, from hate speech and stereotypes, to online bullying and hate crimes. While there has been progress in Canada in diversity and inclusion, hate has deep roots in discrimination, oppression and colonialism, evolving with the politics and unrest of the day. There are valuable resources and research available on hate and racism today, like From Hate to Hope, a report by BC's Office of the Human Rights Commissioner, which delves deeply into the rise of hate during the pandemic. And United Way British Columbia offers support with its racistincidenthelpline.ca (1-833-457-5463) where you can get help navigating resources available to you in your community. As a registered charity serving people and communities, DIVERSEcity is proud to create a space for dialogue on racism and hate. Our upcoming "Together Against Hate" workshop series will encourage courageous conversations, cultural exchange and collective resilience to build a more inclusive and united future. Want to join the dialogue?
