education
Experience alternative learning opportunities rooted in anti-oppression, equity and inclusion. Learn curriculum that is relevant to our community’s needs, including content about Black history, stolen legacies, and white supremacy, from Black educators, in a safe, collaborative progressive environment. We are also partnering with other community collectives to deepen our understanding of Indigenous knowledge. Learn from Indigenous Wisdom Carriers about Indigenous history, the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action, and issues surrounding land acknowledgement. By providing engaging educational opportunities that are relevant to our communities, Halton Black Voices aims to encourage more interest in higher education for Black and Indigenous citizens. We will also support initiatives for Black and Indigenous cultural creation in our local communities, with the goal of building beautiful spaces where BIPOC can thrive.
Equity is inevitable.
Our struggle for equity is bound together with the struggles of Indigenous communities of the land where many of our ancestors were transported and enslaved. Indigenous liberation is a prerequisite for Black liberation, so the work of Halton Black Voices will be closely tied to our Indigenous community members in Halton.
