Community Organizing
General
During the discussion of social injustices was brought up in a Highschool french class. Our three founders, Rand, Shanelle, and Pia, were quick to lead the conversation. From talking about the #BlackLivesMatter Movement during the spring and summer of 2020 to the Asian Hate Crime arising from the COVID-19 Virus to how a plastic disposable mask can harm animals. Thus, Lead The Convo started on October 15 of 2020.
Lead The Convo is a non-profit organization based in Toronto that welcomes all to join the community. With the mission to use our platforms to lead the discussion for youth and others. We want to provide information and tools for the future generation to have knowledgeable conversations about social issues happening worldwide. Our goal is to shine a light on social issues that aren’t being covered in the news and media. A greater understanding of knowledge is essential for students to understand and interpret each other.

MAPB formed to unite mothers who have lost their children to police violence. Every year families lose children and other loved ones to police killings. An alarmingly disproportionate number of African American and Hispanic men killed by policemen are unarmed. In virtually every case, officers that kill unarmed Black and Brown men are never charged with a crime.
