> 
> March 21, the International Day for the Elimination of Racism, marks the
> anniversary of the 1960 Sharpeville Massacre in South Africa when police
> opened fire on hundreds of South Africans protesting against Apartheid’s
> passbook laws, killing 67 and wounding 186.
> 
> For centuries, communities have led countless courageous struggles against
> racism and the many ways in which it manifests itself in our daily lives.
> From historic injustices - such as Japanese internment camps, residential
> schools, and the Chinese Exclusion Act - to the current mass detention and
> impoverishment of racialized peoples and refugees under the guise of the
> War on Terror; Canadian corporate development on Indigenous lands from the
> tarsands in Alberta to mining operations in Guatemala; the expansion of
> exploitative migrant worker programs; the tragedy of missing and murdered
> Indigenous women, and military occupations from Afghanistan to Haiti -
> racism is an ugly truth about Canada.
> 
> Join us on March 20th to confront racism while celebrating the dignity,
> strength, and resilience of our communities.
> 
> - End individual and institutional racism, racial violence, and racial
> profiling!
> - Defend Indigenous lands and communities!
> - Self determination and end all wars and occupations!
> - Freedom from police violence, imprisonments, and deportations!
> - Living wages, healthcare, education, and housing for all!
