Join the DPAC for Elimin8Hate’s presentation at DPAC May General:

Several of the “Challenging Racist BC” authors — https://www.challengeracistbc.ca/ — will discuss and answer questions about their work, and a BCTF Anti-Oppression Educators Collective member will talk about how using enhanced digital edition of the book can be an effective teaching tool.
