The ACT2EndRacism Network, convened in response to the resurgence of Anti-Asian racism at the onset of the COVID pandemic believes that:

“Racism is entrenched in Canada’s history and present, and is hurting all Canadians. We recognize and stand in solidarity with other racial groups including Indigenous, Black, and other Asian communities to raise awareness of anti-Asian racism and build bridges between all communities. Collectively, we can elevate anti-Asian racism efforts to national levels and empower multicultural communities to fully participate in Canadian society.”
