Description
Like all social purpose work, there’s an inherent power imbalance embedded in community services and programs. The reality — and the legacy of historical, racist exclusion from systems of wealth, voice and power — is that most social programs are designed, developed and led by white people and racialized Canadians are disproportionately represented in those who access those programs. What does this mean, and how might community services embed anti-racism?
