Coalition of Municipalities against Racism and Discrimination
The Coalition of Municipalities Against Racism and Discrimination (CMARD) is a UNESCO-led initiative calling on municipalities from across Canada to be part of a larger international coalition of cities to combat racism. Municipal governments, as well as other orders of government in Canada, along with local, national organizations and individuals share responsibility and have an important role to play in combating racism and discrimination and fostering equality and respect for all citizens. CMARD will broaden and strengthen our society’s ability to protect and promote human rights through coordination and shared responsibility among local governments, civil society organizations and other democratic institutions.
