About Atlantic Equity And Research Alliance

AEARA is a community-based organization established to address systemic barriers to people of African descent, Indigenous Peoples and other racialized communities in the Atlantic region (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island), in particular with regards to education, justice, public safety and employment. We are run by a volunteer board of directors, all of whom are people of African descent. Mission Our mission is to remove the barriers experienced by people of African descent, Indigenous Peoples and racially marginalized groups in the Atlantic region by conducting research, developing educational tools and providing services that address systemic racism in education, justice and employment. Vision AEARA’s vision is to stimulate, strengthen, and advance equity for Canadians of African Descent, Indigenous Peoples and racially marginalized groups by advocating for equitable access to justice, education and economic development and by influencing policy and legislation in order to uplift our peoples within Canada, North America and throughout the world. What we do: We conduct research and public education, and provide services to these identified community members in order to: (1) Overcome barriers to obtaining employment, professional careers within federal, provincial and private sector employers; (2) Reduce the rate of incarceration and victimization; and (3) Influence positive policy and program reforms by educating social service-providers, federal and provincial policy-makers, and public and private sector employers.
