Today marks a special day of commemoration and celebration! We proudly raised the Juneteenth Flag, honoring the end of chattel slavery and the enduring symbol of freedom it represents. But today isn't just about reflecting on history; it's about celebrating the vibrant tapestry of Blackness and Black life. Join us in recognizing the resilience, strength, and invaluable contributions of the Black and African American community. Their sacrifices and talents enrich our community in countless ways. Let's stand together in unity and celebration, not just today, but every day. We're proud to stand with you.

February is Black History Month. CanFASD understands how intersectional the challenges are – there is no liberation for disabled people, including people with FASD, without Black liberation. Our collective power as a community fighting for equality is only strengthened by solidarity across movements.

Our mission is to make sure that we, as families of the African Diaspora, receive lactation and infant feeding support to reclaim human milk as the first food of Black communities everywhere, starting with the United States. Our core values inform everything about how we work. We believe that: Human milk feeding is normal in the Black community, as in any human community. Parents, families, and anyone raising children should be able to feel empowered to feed (or nurse) their children out in the world however they choose to do so. Representation matters. This is why we celebrate and center our Black experiences, provide services for and by those of us who are part of the African Diaspora, and honor each other as members of the African Diaspora. Informed consent is fundamental to showing respect for each other and ending cycles of violence that disproportionately affect our communities. For this reason, we honor bodily autonomy for all humans by disclosing our intentions when seeking permission to act; not assuming consent is granted; working to minimize retaliation, fear, or shame associated with communicating needs, limits, and preferences; and recognizing that we may make different decisions than others because of our different experiences, resources, abilities, and needs, and other factors others may not be aware of.

Commentary: We celebrate Black History Month and the heroic leaders and movements that have advanced racial justice by remembering that the struggle for justice for African Americans is only part of the history of movements for racial justice in this country.
