The FIGHT is not OVER and it does not end here. As we move forward, we hope folks have gained more insight, become better informed, and feel empowered to begin MOBILIZING to speak out against and challenge xenophobia.

This public awareness campaign has been about LEARNING and UNLEARNING as we discover new ways to LISTEN to one another and GROW together as a community.

Together, we can build a world where everyone belongs and where we come from a place of understanding.

✊Upcoming CCNCTO events:
March 25th Volunteer Meeting
March 28th Workers Education Group

Xenophobia is systemic and creates many barriers for im/migrants, refugees, international students, and newcomers. Everyone deserves access to SAFETY, SUPPORT, and INFORMATION.

We are sharing resources to connect our community members with trusted organizations that provide workers’ rights support, healthcare support, legal services, and newcomer support.

We fight back by building SOLIDARITY, and by STANDING TOGETHER, we will become STRONGER.

CONNECT with CCNCTO:
✊Join our workshops and monthly workers, volunteers, and youth meetings to organize and to share your ideas and experiences!

Xenophobia is multifaceted. It is connected to anti-Black racism, anti-Indigenous racism, and the systems that divide communities while protecting those in power. Blaming one another distracts us from the deeper injustices that harm us all. Anti-Asian, anti-Indigenous and anti-Black racism rely on fear, misinformation, and the myth that some people belong more than others. Choose to promote solidarity!

❗Our injustices and struggles are linked!
❗Solidarity means standing with other communities!
❗Solidarity means standing against anti-Indigenous and anti-Black hate!
❗Solidarity means building power together across communities!

As we conclude this social media campaign, we remind you to think of what else can be done in the community:

❗Challenge racism in everyday conversations
❗Support Black and Indigenous communities
❗Contribute to organizing in your community

When we stand together, we are stronger. The fight against xenophobia is part of a larger fight for racial justice. Let’s keep building, keep organizing, and keep choosing solidarity over division.

This Chinese New Year, we didn’t just celebrate, we organized!

Last weekend, our workers and volunteers led a community outreach activity and an New Year celebration. We saw folks talking with community members, sharing their own experience, facilitating activities and strategy discussions.

This is what organizing looks like at CCNCTO, not just attending events, but building relationships, developing leadership, and turning lived experience into collective action.

When workers lead, we build real power. When the community organizes, solidarity and leadership grows.

In this Year of the Fire Horse, we want to see more folks stepping up, taking action, and shaping the direction of our movement!
