UPlift BLACK Projects

UPlifting Black Youth Care Packages – August 2020

This project was completed in August of 2020.

As our youth sit at home isolating and navigating online school, they are overwhelmed with both the stress and anxiety of the global COVID-19 pandemic sweeping the nation and the recent events spotlighting the prevalence of Anti-Black Racism here in Canada. The time for change is now and our Black youth need to hear from their neighbours and our community allies that Black Lives Matter.
