Organizing Against Racism & Hate

Last updated on May 8, 2020

The Organizing Against Racism and Hate (OARH) program was established in 2001 and was active until March 2020. This page is for information only.

For current anti-racism programming, please visit Resilience BC.

OARH supported a coordinated community approach to counter racism and hate activity in B.C. in 36 member communities throughout the province. Each OARH member established community partnerships, developed protocols for responding to incidents of racism and hate in their communities, and led other community activities to address racism.
