BLAC envisions a society in which Black people are able to fully participate in society. The eradication of poverty is a necessary step to achieve this vision. We do our part by assisting low and no-income Black People across Ontario with their legal issues in this area of law.

We honour the people fighting to counter racism with justice in our society, and raising awareness about the persistent issue of modern slavery. While we commemorate the progress made, we must recognize that millions of Black people still endure human trafficking, forced labour
