Human Rights & Equity
Book Club
The HRE Book Club will be looking for recommended reads by Canadian authors who have had an impact on the HRE equity-seeking groups – Racialized members, members living with disabilities, Indigenous members, Francophone members, and 2SLGBTQI members. They also hope they can get an author or two to join the discussion!
Chronicling just one year in the struggle against racism in this country, The Skin We're In reveals in stark detail the injustices faced by Black Canadians on a daily basis: the devastating effects of racist policing, the hopelessness produced by an education system that fails Black children, the heartbreak of those separated from their families by discriminatory immigration laws, and more. Cole draws on his own experiences as a Black man in Canada, and locates the deep cultural, historical, and political roots of each event. What emerges is a personal, painful, and comprehensive picture of entrenched, systemic inequality.
The Human Rights and Equity Book Club points program allows book club members to earn points. The person who has earned the most points by the end of the year will win a gift certificate worth $250 from the ONA Merch Shop. Winner will be announced at the Annual Human Rights and Equity Caucus,
