Advancing community unity and prosperity
To our Black Community and Allies in Manitoba
First, we hope you are keeping well, finding support in each other, and taking care of yourselves, your families, and friends as best as possible. We understand that these are difficult times and we are here in solidarity and with the intention to ensure that we all have access to the necessary resources that support our community’s positive mental, social, and economic health.
This is why we are reaching out to you to work as a collective to bring to Manitoba the systemic and social changes that we need to see. We are calling on individuals and organizations within the Black community to take up this call to action to get involved in a new Black Community Collective initiative that will work towards implementing new programs, projects, and initiatives in the community across industries that will strengthen and enhance the Black presence in Manitoba.
The Black Community Collective will focus on three key areas each for development:
Policing:
Government:
Community Engagement:
We need your support. Your input and energy are necessary to create real, sustainable change in the community. We need active, contributing members of the Black community to band together and continue to use their voices to ensure the future of Black Manitobans is solidified.
It is time that we stand together and change the face of our community!
On behalf of the Black Community Collective.
