Community Response Protocol Against Racism and Hate
What do you do when you experience or witness hate? We have created several resources with useful information.
Discrimination and hate threaten the health, security, and well-being of our community and should be met with a united, agency-centred, and community-based response. The information in this document:
- Aims to keep individuals safe and informed,
- Emphasizes the agency of the person targeted by hate,
- Provides clarity on what the legal protections are, and
- Covers hate-motivated crimes, discrimination, racial and social profiling, hate on social media and internet platforms, hateful graffiti and vandalism, and, in a more limited fashion, microaggressions.
A list with local resources and organizations offering support is included. This resource is part of our work as a spoke in the Resilience BC – Anti-Racism Network.
