Surrey Together Against Racism (STAR), led by MOSAIC, invites families and seniors living in Surrey and White Rock to join the event for discussing practical tools to combat racism.
This is an in-person event hosted at Surrey Libraries - Fleetwood Branch (15996 84 Ave, Surrey, BC).
Strengthen Families in Response to Racism is the third event in our event series, I Can, You Can, We Can, which aims to provide legal and counselling education for fighting against racism.
In the event, attendees will:
- Discuss ways for responding to racial discrimination and hate incidents
- Watch brief presentations from legal and counselling professionals
- Share their concerns, ask questions, and get answers from the professionals
STAR will:
- Listen to the attendees
- Note the attendees' concerns and questions while ensuring confidentiality
- Communicate the noted details with the Government of British Columbia to promote further support for those negatively affected by racism
We encourage residents in Surrey and White Rock to join us to learn more about the actions they can take to combat racism and create a safe community.
