About this Event
Frustrated at racism and the audacity of whiteness? Need to vent but don’t know where or who you can turn to?
Well the Collective on Anti-Racism (COAR) is here! We call on all anti-racist advocates to ROAR with COAR in our monthly discussion group! In these meetings we will discuss the issues we believe are paramount to address in anti-racist spaces.
Roar with COAR follows a book club format where you are welcome to engage with our resources we have curated or you can simply join the conversation on the day.

Our space is BIPOC-centred and platforms lived experiences, but those outside of the community are welcome to come and listen to the conversation.
This learning environment will follow COAR’s principled space guidelines. This is a supportive space that holds people accountable as we learn and grow in our understanding of what we discuss.
