The Anti-Racism Ambassadors Network
The Anti-Racism Ambassadors Network (the Network) was established to support existing efforts in the public service to dismantle systemic racism with an intersectional lens. The Network aims to create a space for public servants in Canada at the municipal, provincial, territorial and federal level, to share knowledge, spread information and take action.
The Anti-Racism Ambassadors Network (the Network) was established to support existing efforts in the public service to dismantle systemic racism with an intersectional lens. The Network aims to create a space for public servants in Canada at the municipal, provincial, territorial and federal level, to share knowledge, spread information and take action.
ARAN is different in that it is a grass-roots group of public servants volunteering from across Canada and not tied to any Government organization. Currently the Network acts as a community mobilizer and connector to collect, amplify, house and disseminate information and resources on Anti-Racism activity for all to use. In doing so, it will also amplify the work being done by BIPOC colleagues and connect all people working in this space.
It will also serve as a network to encourage and support members in taking practical action to dismantle systemic racism. We recognize that this is a community effort, and it will take collective partnerships and action to affect change. This includes but is not limited to the work of existing networks like the Black Employees Network(s), Indigenous Employee Network(s), Visible Minorities Network(s), Federal Black Employees Caucus (FBEC), 2SLGBTQIA+/Pride networks and other similar communities as well as resources from organizations and departments standing up their own Anti-Racism units.
As this Network grows, it aims to help bridge and identify gaps in the area of Anti-Racism across public service organizations in Canada where feasible.

Ambassadeurs du réseau d’anti-racisme (RaaR)
Le Réseau des ambassadeurs de l'antiracisme (le Réseau) a été créé pour soutenir les efforts déployés dans la fonction publique pour démanteler le racisme systémique dans une optique intersectionnelle. Le Réseau vise à créer un espace pour les fonctionnaires du Canada aux niveaux municipal, provincial, territorial et fédéral, afin de partager des connaissances, de diffuser de l'information et d'agir.
ARAN est différent en ce sens qu'il s'agit d'un groupe local de fonctionnaires bénévoles de partout au Canada qui n'est lié à aucune organisation gouvernementale. Actuellement, le Réseau agit en tant que mobilisateur et connecteur communautaire pour recueillir, amplifier, héberger et diffuser des informations et des ressources sur les activités de lutte contre le racisme afin que tous puissent les utiliser. Ce faisant, il amplifiera également le travail effectué par les collègues de BIPOC et connectera toutes les personnes travaillant dans cet espace.
Il servira également de réseau pour encourager et soutenir les membres à prendre des mesures pratiques pour démanteler le racisme systémique. Nous reconnaissons qu'il s'agit d'un effort communautaire et qu'il faudra des partenariats et des actions collectives pour obtenir des changements. Cela inclut, sans s'y limiter, le travail des réseaux existants tels que le(s) Réseau(s) des employés noirs, le(s) Réseau(s) des employés autochtones, le(s) Réseau(s) des minorités visibles, le Caucus fédéral des employés noirs (FBEC), les réseaux 2SLGBTQIA+/Pride et d'autres communautés similaires, ainsi que les ressources des organisations et des ministères qui mettent en place leurs propres unités de lutte contre le racisme.
Au fur et à mesure que ce réseau se développe, il vise à aider à combler et à identifier les lacunes dans le domaine de la lutte contre le racisme dans les organisations de la fonction publique au Canada, dans la mesure du possible.
