At Runners of the Six, we recognize there is a lot of anti-racist, anti-oppression work that needs to be done in the Greater Toronto-Hamilton area. If you’re a runner, creator, athlete (or person) and are looking for ways to help, we have highlighted a few organizations to partner with. Use what you’re good at: running, fundraising, content creation, or event planning to highlight these organizations. We’ve also included podcasts and books for further education for you to listen to on your runs (or anytime).
These organizations will gladly take your help, thank you in advance.
