In the Jane and Finch area of Toronto, youth workers are combating negative stereotypes through an innovative fundraising campaign. This initiative features anti-bias training in exchange for donations, designed to foster resilience while supporting essential local programs. The Write Us Off campaign, led by local youth leaders, seeks to challenge historical biases and highlight the community's vibrancy. Despite improvements in safety statistics from 2019 to 2023, stigma remains prevalent, prompting advocacy for a complete narrative transformation of the area.
"What we want to do now is reclaim our narrative. Jane and Finch is a vibrant, beautiful community."
