The Speak Truth to Power: Youth Defenders for Human Rights series is for Canadian teachers who wish to address issues of human rights in their classrooms. In this booklet, you will find lesson plans and activities, accompanying videos, community defenders, additional resources, and more.
The resource develops students’ ability to recognize the influence of past actions on present realities, critically reflect on race and privilege, build empathy, allyship and community, and envision themselves as “future ancestors”. Through the advocacy of Larissa Crawford, students will learn that they can move Canada forward to a place where equity and equality are more than words.
