Ubuntu Mobilizing Central Alberta

Project Name: Central Alberta Build Black Better Red Deer, AB

Ubuntu: (oo.boon.too) I am because we are ~ Zulu Proverb.

Incorporated in June 2020, Ubuntu works to become a bridge for connecting and mobilizing Central Albertan communities through racial and social justice education, engagement, advocacy, and community building, both on an individual and a systemic level.

The organization works closely with the courts to provide social support for members of the Black community while also educating and empowering community members to be more active at the local policy-making levels for the region. The group also works to support Black youth organizations and new immigrants to Central Alberta.

With the assistance of SBCCI, Ubuntu Mobilizing Central Alberta has begun improving areas of governance, volunteer recruitment, and training, along with working with local knowledge keepers to bridge the gaps between the Black and First Nation communities in the true spirit of Ubuntu.
