We are donating some of the proceeds from the book to charities that have been mentioned below.
Operation Black Vote
Operation Black Vote Canada (OBVC) was established in 2004 as a nonprofit and multi-partisan organization that supports the election of Black people to public office. We do this by educating, motivating and advocating for Black Canadians to participate in Canada’s government, agencies, boards, commissions, civil service and in Canada’s political process at all levels.
OBVC does not endorse candidates, nor do we advocate for one political party over another, instead we assist emerging Black professionals interested in a political career.
OBVC Monitors issues that interests and concerns the Black Canadian community and play a leading role in recommending solutions to the community and the government.
