Our Goals:

Raise awareness on the topic of privilege
Help people understand their own privilege




Why is this important?

High School Completion

In the U.S., 30% of children raised poverty do not finish high school. This is crucial as 2/3 of people who didn't finish high school earn less than $25,000.



Race Difference

20.8% of peoples of colour in Canada are low-income compared to 12.2% of non-racialized people.



Indigenous Groups

In Canada, income gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people is 33%, and income gap between Indigenous women and non-Indigenous men is 45%



Father Absense

In U.S., father absence leads to 4 times greater chance of poverty and 7 times greater chance of having teen pregnancy
