Our Vision


We envision the creation, expansion, and nurturing of braver spaces across Epekwitk in which BIPOC communities will be engaged, supported, and their voices amplified and heard.

Our Values and Philosophy


BIPOC USHR is based on the values of compassion, care, cooperation, and collectivism, along with anti-racism and anti-colonialism as we work toward social justice for BIPOC communities on PEI. We reject racism/white supremacy, anti-Blackness, anti-Indigeneity, Islamophobia, antisemitism, Sinophobia, colonialism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, classism, ableism, casteism, colourism/shadeism and all forms of oppression.

Our Mission


BIPOC USHR aims to bring together and serve BIPOC communities on PEI in ways that build solidarity and help them thrive, specifically through community building, intersectional justice education and advocacy, programming, and supportive practices to form stronger and more resilient communities.


At BIPOC USHR, we know that change starts with people like you. Your generosity helps us support newcomers, youth, and racialized communities across Epekwitk/PEI with programs that prioritize healing, empowerment, and belonging.

Thank you for supporting BIPOC USHR. Your support doesn’t just help us reach a goal — it helps people feel seen, valued, and at home.

There is so much in this world impacting BIPOC communities and we have lots of thoughts and feelings around it all.
