In partnership with Dalhousie Student Union
Stop Hate for Profit – Halifax townhall hosted by MP Peter Julian - in partnership with Dalhousie University Student Union, is an non-partisan townhall for students and residents of Halifax to engage in an open dialogue about the rise of racism, hate and discrimination in recent years.
Anti-Semitism, anti-Black racism, Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia and misogyny and associated ideology and other forms of hate are on the rise in Canada. Nationally, hate crimes have increased 80%. Nova Scotia has the highest increase (+70%) of hate crimes rates per 100,000 population. Most people are not aware that online platforms, such as Facebook & Instagram, use algorithms to control the type of content that users see because more engagement means higher advertising profit. Throughout the pandemic, this has led to many people being directed towards COVID-19 misinformation (such as anti-vax content) and extremist, racist and hateful online content.
Come join this in person townhall in Halifax with panel speakers - MP Peter Julian, Dr. Kesa Munroe-Anderson, Associate Professor at Acadia University, Aparna Mohan, President of Dalhousie University Student Union and Ammar Shakoor, President of St. Mary’s University’s Muslim Society, to discuss how hateful social media content and harmful algorithms hurt individuals and our society. A special video message by Imran Ahmed, CEO of Center for Countering Digital Hate, will be presented at the event.
