Each year, we mark March 21 as the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.  It is a particular time to focus on anti-racist actions and to dismantling racism in all its forms.  This international day has been observed around the world every year since 1966.

In the United Church, we honour this important day. As the United Church’s anti-racism policy reminds us, the struggle against racism is a continuous effort.  This means that anti-racism work is important on any day and every day.

On this international day, and every day, there are many practical ways to work towards anti-racism.

The post continues with a list of ten additional suggestions to work towards anti-racism that reflect some of the newest United Church resources.
