Government Submissions

As part of our ongoing commitment to challenging racism and advocating for anti-racist policies and initiatives, the CRP has actively contributed to several key governmental inquiries and policy discussions. Through these submissions, we have sought to influence legislative and policy changes aimed at addressing issues of racism, extremism, and social cohesion. Our engagement reflects a commitment to ensuring that research on racism and anti-racism informs public policy and fosters a more equitable society.
