BGMN Video Update August 2020

Land Acknowledgement

The BGMN of Ontario acknowledges that its members live and work on Turtle Island, which is the ancestral home of First Nations, Inuit, Metis, and multiple Indigenous tribes and groups. Whether land is ceded or unceded, their lives and culture are under continual threat by colonization and white supremacy.

As an organization, we understand how intersectional forces of anti-black racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc., continue to impact those of the African diaspora in Canada. The harmful impacts related to the enslavement of African peoples, disruption and forced migration from our native homelands, and present-day state violence negatively impact ACB people in Ontario, this country, and globally.

We stand in solidarity with our Indigenous family as we work to address systemic prejudices and other forces that undermine our health and wellness and the ability to live self-actualized lives.
