By taking this online pledge, supporters are making a personal commitment to understand, stand against, and act to eliminate racism and discrimination.
“It only takes a few seconds to go online and fill out the form. When you click submit, your pledge is added to a running count of those who’ve also taken the pledge. There are so many different cultures in Canada; we face the challenges of acceptance and inclusion every day. We hope this campaign will draw attention to what we as a society can accomplish when we stand together. Through the ‘Take the Pledge’ campaign we are working to make the world a more welcoming place where we appreciate all people, all cultures, and the talents they bring to our communities,” states Danny Krmpotich, Program Coordinator – Local Immigration Partnership.
