Black History Month

A statement from Together We Rise.

February is Black History Month—a time to honor the rich history, contributions, and resilience of Black communities in Canada. It is a moment to celebrate the progress achieved, reflect on the challenges that remain, and recommit ourselves to the ongoing fight for justice and equity. At Together We Rise (TWR), we are deeply committed to combating individual and systemic anti-Black racism and advancing the principles of equity and inclusion. Our work is rooted in the belief that justice is not a privilege but a right for every individual. Through collaboration with community organizations, we aim to support, empower, and amplify the voices of Black individuals in Hamilton. Our aim is to facilitate access to justice by connecting Black community members to essential legal services.
