Dignity and justice

In episode six, we hear from a community advocate on realities of racism, criminalization and the importance of justice and human dignity.

Maigan talks to Mahamed Accord (he/him), a local advocate fighting for issues of justice and law enforcement reform; youth rights; victims’ rights; and against social, economic, and cultural barriers. Mahamed is the founder and CEO of Taccalusa Institute and a founding member of the Coalition for Justice and Human Rights. Mahamad uses his voice to speak up for African Canadians and bring important human rights and equity issues to light.
