Editorial fellowship: Inclusion and anti-racism

Social purpose teams and organizations across Canada are reckoning with this fact, the implications for their work, and, in many cases, their own history and complicity with structural and systemic exclusion. Activists have been calling for this reckoning for decades, and organizations are only scratching the surface. From inclusive internal organizational culture to anti-racist program design and service delivery to centring racial justice in grantmaking and so much more, it’s a difficult yet essential learning journey organizations are on. They need in-depth reporting on what works, what doesn’t and what the trends are. This 2023 series and independent journalism ​​is made possible by the support of the World Education Services (WES) Mariam Assefa Fund.
