Across various areas, Black 2SLGBTQI+ community members continue to face systemic barriers which include access to housing, employment, education, health services, and many more. Earlier this year, The Enchanté Network conducted a survey as part of our Back to Our Roots Project.  Results showed that 

over 70% of Black 2SLGBTQI+ respondents have experienced hate crimes 

with over 80% of respondents  stating that they have experienced anti-black racism in 2SLGBTQI+ spaces. 

For this year’s Giving Tuesday Campaign the Enchanté Network asks for your support as we aim to address the specific realities of Black 2SLGBTQI+ Canadians.

By donating to our Back to Our Roots Project, you will help us continue to amplify community-based leadership, and Support Black 2SLGBTQI+ movement building on a national stage.

We have a fundraising goal of $10,000  and every contribution is monumental!
