Welcome to ABracism. This group is set up to explore what can be done to reduce racism, discrimination, hate crimes and explore issues related to social justice in Alberta. Examples of social justice issues could include topics about the homeless, the underpaid, work conditions, and other topics you know of that you would like to see some discussion on.

We can also look at ways we can approach these issues and how we can work together to address them.

Regards,
Steve MacLellan
