Working together to end racism is vital to creating a more equitable society. Volunteering your time and skills, whether it be through organizing events, leading education campaigns, or participating in anti-racist activities, will have a lasting impact on our communities and society. Together we can create a world free from racism and bigotry by working together to dismantle systemic oppression. Every volunteer contributes to the larger goal of ending racism and everyone has something important to offer. Through collective effort we can make real progress.
Join us in the fight against racism via artistic expression.
"Racism is not an issue of the heart, it's an issue of ignorance. We can overcome ignorance together by educating ourselves and each other, and by working towards a common goal of equality and justice."
