Upcoming Forum on Racism - March 2


We are currently working on organizing a forum at UVic on Racism. We are approaching other campus clubs to bring their thoughts and perspectives to this event.


We aim to address some of the issues of racism and the confusion as to what racism is. We also hope that by addressing these issues we strengthen the struggles against our real enemy; Capitalism. Racism is profitable and there are those exploiting our divides. Let's come together and discuss how we can confront hate and work together towards freedom and equality for all.
