ChangeMakers is an educational association which advocates for equity, equality and mutual respect in a multi-racial, multi-cultural and diverse society, by addressing racism, bigotry and intolerance whether on a social, political or systematic level. Its objective is to:
- Document, acknowledge and honor past lessonsof those who lived under, persevered through, and fought against, racism,segregation and intolerance.
- Create open dialogues to focus on ways tobuild trust and heal the wounds from the past, where we are on a societal leveland where we need to go; “calling-out” current examples of racism andintolerance, as well as identifying success stories.
- Have a broader impact and be a catalyst forchange to progress in the future, by encouraging participation from thecommunity, with special outreach to youth and students.
