The Rights Project

The Rights Project will empower and educate Black, Indigenous, and other racialized communities in the GTA on their rights, and provide them with the tools to confidently advocate for themselves. Our current education system does not adequately provide the tools or resources to confidently navigate the Canadian legal system. We will address this by creating accessible pathways to legal education, holding workshops and seminars, advocating on behalf of our communities, and partnering with legal professionals and organizations. The Rights Project is held by the community, for the community. Our hope is that through education and collaborative discussions, communities will feel empowered to challenge historically oppressive institutions and defend one another’s human rights.
