We at Seneca Media are dedicated to becoming better allies and doing more to help support anti-racism and the Black Lives Matter movement.
While we cannot even begin to understand what the Black community is feeling at the moment, we can try to learn more about the issue of racism that is hurting them. If we want to be allies, then we must educate ourselves. We must learn the historical roots of systemic racism, how it has affected Black people through the years, and ways we can work together to eradicate this. Only once we equip ourselves with this knowledge can we effectively raise our voices. This is about moving beyond the hashtags and social media feeds and taking intentional actions towards doing more. This is a collection of resources we have put together.
