FIELD NOTES | Centering Anti-Racist and Equity Frameworks in Anti-Poverty Work

FIELD NOTES | Centering Anti-Racist and Equity Frameworks in Anti-Poverty Work

Tamarack’s Communities Ending Poverty hosted two conversations that explored how CEP members were developing, implementing, and centering anti-racist and equity frameworks in their anti-poverty work.

CEP member communities were asked to speak to the following:

  • How they began shifting mindsets to actively tackle anti-racism

  • What internal and external actions demonstrate their commitment to anti-racism and equity

  • How they created space to think outside of the box with new partners and to integrate new ideas into practice

  • What has worked well, what challenges were navigated, and what advice do they have to share?

The following organizations were included in this work:

  • Saskatoon Poverty Reduction Partnership

  • City of Vancouver

  • Alberni Clayoquot Health Network

  • Ville de Montréal service de la diversité et de l'inclusion sociale

  • Vibrant Communities Calgary

  • Wellbeing Waterloo Region

  • Winnipeg Poverty Reduction Council
