Take a stand against coronavirus racism
There's no place for racism in this country.
Why is this important?
There's been a huge a spike racism against the Chinese-Canadian community in the wake of the coronavirus.
Businesses are being targeted. Racial slurs are being hurled. Online comments are spreading fear, and people are being harassed and stigmatized.
This is the same thing that happened in Canada after the SARS outbreak: a public health crisis turned into a social crisis.
We need to push back against the discrimination, xenophobia, and racist scapegoating targeting our friends, families, and fellow Canadians.
If you believe there's no place for this kind of behaviour in Canada, add your name.
