Stronger Together for Justice

Black History Month is a time to show solidarity and learn about:

  • Black Culture
  • Black History
  • Challenges Black and Indigenous communities face
  • Learning how to stand up against injustice and racism

Every February, we celebrate Black History Month to honor the amazing contributions and achievements of Black people throughout history.

From Harriet Tubman and Martin Luther King Jr. to modern-day leaders, Black History Month helps us remember the strength and courage of those who fought for freedom and equality. It’s also a chance to recognize the ongoing struggles African Americans face, like fighting racism and fighting for justice.

But there's also something important about Indigenous Solidarity. This is all about standing up for Indigenous communities who have faced centuries of colonization and oppression. Indigenous peoples continue to fight for their:

  • Rights
  • Land
  • Culture

Supporting Indigenous Solidarity means acknowledging struggles and advocating for change—whether it’s fighting for land, protecting the environment, or preserving culture.

Both Black History Month and Indigenous Solidarity remind us that we all play a role in fighting injustice. They teach us to respect history, support marginalized communities, and make sure everyone’s voices are heard.

When we stand together, we can make a difference!
