Neon Sign reading "Think About Things Differently"

Anti-racism/anti-oppression is an ongoing process that challenges us to continually examine our biases, think critically about the world we live in and to always be open to learning new things.

Educating ourselves on experiences of others is one way we can move towards a more inclusive society.
