BLAC

The Black Legal Action Centre (BLAC) is a not-for-profit community legal clinic serving Black Ontarians facing anti-Black racism.

At BLAC, we stand with Black communities across Ontario and beyond to confront these ongoing harms. Our work is grounded in the recognition that abolition is not only about dismantling systems of exploitation but also about building the conditions for Black communities to thrive moving forward.

On this Human Rights Day, we honor the resilience and strength of Black communities around the world. Let’s continue to fight for justice, equality, and the recognition of fundamental human rights for all. Every voice matters, and every story deserves to be heard. Together, we can create a world free from discrimination and oppression.

On this International Day of Persons with Disabilities, let's come together to celebrate and highlight persons with unique abilities. It's a day to advocate for the inclusion and representation of all individuals, and to ensure that our actions create an accessible and welcoming environment, especially for people with unique needs. By embracing diversity and promoting equality, we can make sure every voice is recognized, heard and valued. Let's commit to making our communities more inclusive and supportive for all.

Today, on the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery, we honour the people fighting to counter racism with justice in our society, and raising awareness about the persistent issue of modern slavery. While we commemorate the progress made, we must recognize that millions of Black people still endure human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation.

Together, we can amplify our voices, spread awareness, and uphold the rights and dignity of every individual.

Violence against women isn’t just about gender—it’s about power, inequality, and systemic oppression. Black women, particularly trans and low-income women, face heightened risks. On this International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, BLAC is committed to addressing these intersections and advocating for justice. If you or someone you know needs help, contact the Canadian Women’s Foundation or ShelterSafe at 1-888-346-5643. We must act now.

Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor all trans identifying individuals—especially Black trans people—lost to violence, systemic oppression, and hate. Here at BLAC, we stand for the rights for our trans friends. The fight for justice is incomplete without addressing the intersections of anti-Black racism and transphobia. Together, we stand for a future where all can live authentically and safely.

BLAC envisions a society in which Black people are able to fully participate in society. The eradication of poverty is a necessary step to achieve this vision. Poverty is a social determinant of health and justice. It must be meaningfully addressed. We do our part by focusing our work on assisting low and no-income Black People across Ontario with their legal issues in this area of law.
