CUPE Nova Scotia is proud to present this special event in collaboration with Working While Black in Nova Scotia.

Working While Black in Nova Scotia is a joint project of community groups Ujamaa, Solidarity Halifax and Kwacha House Cafe. The project aims to publish anonymous stories of anti-black racism in the workplace in Nova Scotia. Publishing these stories allows workers in the Black community to know that they are not alone in their experience of racism.
