平权会解决校内反亚裔种族主义的倡导
This is a timeline of the work of CCNCTO in advocating for anti-Asian racism in schools by sending collective letters, conducting surveys and gathering petition signatures throughout 2022-present.

While this page displays some of the crucial school advocacy work that CCNCTO and community members have engaged in from 2022-present day, there are many other events that haven’t been listed here.

Our work will continue strong in the future school years to ensure that we can see a more equitable school system.
我们将在未来几年学年继续努力,以确保我们能够看到一个更加公平的学校系统。
October 2024 年 10 月
In October 2024, we gathered several community members, including academics, community organization representatives, and students to speak yet again at a Toronto District School Board (TDSB) Planning and Priorities meeting. We were alerted to the fact that an anti-Asian racism motion (i.e. a request to address anti-Asian racism) was being brought up and knew that we had to speak about the need for TDSB to include community voices in a comprehensive strategy to combat anti-Asian racism. 2024年10月,我们召集了几位社群成员,包括学者、社群组织代表和学生,再次到多伦多教育局的规划与优先事项安排会议上发言。我们得知,一项反亚裔种族主义动议(即请求解决反亚裔种族主义问题)将被提交。我们意识到,此刻我们必须发声,向多伦多教育局强调:在制定对抗反亚裔种族主义的全面战略时,要纳入来自社群的声音。 2 community members (a former homestay student, parent, and community organizer and a former domestic student) and 2 CCNCTO representatives (Kedi Zhao and Eleanor Yang) spoke during this call; 1 more community member also wrote to TDSB (on behalf of Project Anchor, formerly known as the Safe Harbour Project, focusing on the wellbeing of international homestay students) . 两位社群成员(一位是前寄宿家庭学生、家长和社群组织者,另一位是前本地学生)以及两位平权会的代表(Kedi Zhao和Eleanor Yang)在会议上发言。另外一位社群成员同时代表“锚”项目(此项目前身为“安全港”项目,关注寄宿留学生的福祉)向多伦多教育局递交了书面意见。
At this point, CCNCTO had worked with YRDSB for years to address anti-Asian racism. CCNCTO also joined and help recruit community members to join YRDSB focus groups, which led to the creation of their anti-Asian Racism report ‘Naming Systemic Racism, Acknowledging Complicity, and a Commitment to Action,’ which cited CCNCTO reports. 此时,平权会与约克区教育局已经在解决反亚裔种族主义的问题上合作多年。平权会也参与和帮助约克区教育局召募社群成员加入专门小组的活动,达成一份反法西斯主义报告——《揭示系统性种族主义,承认共谋行为,承诺行动》。该报告也援引了平权会相关报告的内容。 Recognizing the need for action, CCNCTO joined forces with YRDSB’s Inclusive School and Community Services (ISCS), the Urban Alliance on Race Relations (UARR), and the Asian Canadian Educators Network (ACENet) to co-fund a one-day student empowerment conference. CCNCTO took the lead with hiring a group of youth to lead the conference, ensuring that youth had a say from event planning to emceeing to workshop facilitation. 平权会认识到行动的必要性,与约克区教育局的包容性学校和社群服务(ISCS)、城市族群关系联盟(UARR)以及亚裔加拿大教育者网络(ACENet)合作,共同资助了一场为期一天的学生赋权会议。平权会主导了这项工作,雇佣一组青年担任会议的主导者,确保青年参与从活动策划到主持工作坊的各个环节。 In May 2024, the Empowering East Asian Students Together: High School Conference took place at Thornhill Secondary School. The conference brought together students from East Asian backgrounds and invited them to critically examine their racialized identities and deepen their commitment towards equity and inclusion. This one-day event also integrated mental health and well-being in students’ exploration with social justice. 2024年5月,“共同赋权东亚学生:高中生会议”在Thornhill中学举行。该会议聚集了东亚背景的学生,邀请他们深入审视自身被种族化冲击的身份,并加深他们对公平与包容的承诺。此活动为期一天,在学生探究社会正义的过程中,整合了对心理健康与福祉的关注。 For more information about the EEAST Conference, check out our website and Instagram: https://eeastconference.wixsite.com/eeast https://www.instagram.com/eeastconference

November 2022 年 11 月
In November, following a plan from YRDSB to create a ‘Dismantling Anti-Asian Racism’ approach and report, CCNCTO and community partners sent YRDSB a collective letter to urge the Board to address the rise of anti-Asian racism in collaboration with community members and organizations.
This letter requested that the Board develop a more comprehensive community-first strategy and action plan to address anti-Asian racism immediately, which included improving the current research and writing process of their ‘Dismantling Anti-Asian Racism Report’.
