Tout au long du mois de février, c’est avec fierté que Centraide United Way souligne le Mois de l’histoire des Noirs. Nous rendons hommage aux contributions marquantes des leaders de la communauté noire d’hier et d’aujourd’hui qui ont façonné notre patrimoine, nos communautés et créé un Canada riche, multiculturel et inclusif. Alors que nous y réfléchissons, nous savons aussi que le racisme systémique existe dans nos institutions, dans tous les secteurs, et qu’il cause des disparités importantes dont les effets sont durables, en particulier chez les personnes et les communautés noires. Aujourd’hui, les femmes et les hommes noirs gagnent en moyenne 15 000 et 23 000 dollars de moins, respectivement, que leurs homologues non racisés. Ce constat renforce notre engagement à promouvoir l’équité, l’inclusion et l’égalité des chances. Ensemble, nous restons déterminés à bâtir un avenir plus équitable pour toutes et tous.

Through February, United Way Centraide proudly recognizes Black History Month. We honour the powerful contributions of Black community leaders, both from the past and the present, in shaping our heritage, communities, and creating a rich and multi-cultural, inclusive Canada. As we reflect on this, we also know that systemic racism exists in our institutions, across all sectors, and has caused significant disparities with long-lasting impact, particularly for Black individuals and communities. Today, Black women and men earn, on average, $15,000 and $23,000 less, respectively, than their non-racialized counterparts. This reinforces our commitment to advancing equity, inclusion, and opportunity. Together, we remain dedicated to building a more equitable future for all.

📢 Calling all charities! As the holiday season approaches, the ripple effects of the Canada Post strike continue to hit our sector hard. The federal government must act NOW by extending the 2024 donations receipting period, giving Canadians the chance to make their year-end contributions despite these disruptions. While the sector has worked hard to gain support from MPs, recent political events have delayed progress on this straightforward solution. Imagine Canada, Cooperation Canada, and the Health Charities Coalition of Canada are calling on all organizations to join this advocacy effort by signing onto our open letter: https://lnkd.in/e6ccd9Cp Your voice matters—help us ensure the government takes action to support the charitable sector at this critical time.
