The 5 D's to interrupt racism and hate

The Comox Valley Community Justice Centre has created a new poster to help people support those who are experiencing racism or hate. The poster offers a practical framework for bystanders to intervene, while reminding people to always prioritize safety.

Contact info@communityjusticecentre.ca for a copy of the poster for your organization.

If you live in the Comox Valley, you can also use the CVCJC's online reporting tool to report incidents of racism and hate. By reporting, you assist in identifying patterns of racism and hate within our community and province. This will, in turn, help inform the development of anti-racism resources and initiatives. (Reporting is confidential, and not intended to replace emergency services.)
