We are doing this to demonstrate our unwavering support for the Black community in the fight against racial injustice in Canada, the US and globally. Insight stands firmly in opposition to all forms of oppression whether racial, gender-based, religious or on any other grounds. We will use this day to reflect on how Insight can use our platform to affect positive change.
