15 ideas for decreasing the impact of racism on health

You’ve read the 15 ideas collected here (and if you haven’t yet, please do) – now what are some of your ideas to end racism? We invite you to join the conversation on decreasing the impact of racism on health. All of the ideas that we have shared have been put into play in other cities around the world. What can we do in Toronto and the GTA to improve health by decreasing racism?

Take up one of the ideas we’ve shared or come up with one of your own. Then tell us about it using the hashtag #stopracism15.

 

 

Acknowledgement of Traditional Land

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the Wellesley Institute operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
