Challenging Anti-Black Racism
ANTI-BLACK RACISM PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS DECLARATION
Our Decleration
The Ontario AIDS Network (OAN) formally declares anti-Black racism a public health crisis within the HIV sector. This crisis continues to impede equitable delivery of the community-based HIV response across the province and obstructs the health and wellbeing of African, Caribbean, Black Latinx,and Black (ACB) people living in Ontario.Further, the OAN declares its commitment to compel health systems officials, local and provincial government, and leaders within the province’s health units, boards and systems to take this step forward and join the OAN in formally declaring anti-Black racism a public health crisis.
