With a global resurgence of the discourse that Black lives matter, and a pandemic phenomenon disproportionately impacting Black communities across North America, 2020 has starkly illustrated the importance of public policy. We believe that a movement to nurture and facilitate conversations, coordinate policy responses, collaborate across sectors and amplify Black voices with decision-makers is needed - and that is what the Canadian Black Policy Network is here to achieve.
