Federal Black Employee Caucus (FBEC) - Resource Guide
(texte français suit)
Federal Black Employee Caucus
FBEC supports efforts at the na onal, regional, and local levels to address issues faced by Black
federal public servants. FBEC’s two objec ves are to:
● Collect disaggregated employment equity data to be er understand where Black federal
public servants are employed and what’s happening to them.
● Support the mental health of Black employees by working together to reduce
harassment and discrimina on in the workplace.
An -Black Racism
The term ‘An -Black Racism’ was first expressed by Dr. Akua Benjamin, a Ryerson Social Work
Professor. The term highlights the unique nature of systemic racism on Black Canadians.
An -Black racism is prejudice, a tudes, beliefs, stereotyping or discrimina on that is directed
at people of African descent and is rooted in their unique history and experience of
enslavement and coloniza on. Currently, an -Black racism is deeply embedded in Canadian
ins tu ons, policies and prac ces.
Addressing An -Black Racism
There are at least three interrelated steps each person can take in addressing An -Black Racism.
● Acknowledging that an -Black Racism exists in Canada is a necessary first step in
addressing its implica ons and outcomes. Whether we benefit from it, internalize it, or
struggle against it, an -Black racism harms, as well as shape our thinking and ac ons.
● Educa ng oneself and/ or others about by becoming aware of the gaps in your
knowledge of the Black Canadian experience. As knowledge gaps are iden fied, take the
responsibility to begin filling them.
● Speaking up and/or ac ng against an -Black racism is too o en le to people of African
descent. The failure to speak up and/or act against an -Black Racism only serves to
maintain or strengthen an -Black Racism. More people must be willing to speak up and
do their part of the heavy li ing.
Resources
There are a vast array of resources available for addressing the complexi es of an -Black
Racism. How and when to use these resources is dependent on an individual and/or
organiza ons’ level of knowledge, learning objec ves, willingness and capacity to act against
an -Black Racism. FBEC can assist with assessing needs and recommending learning or ac on
plans.
The resource recommenda ons in this document are not an exhaus ve inventory of an -Black
Racism resources. FBEC is commi ed to doing its part of the heavy li ing. As we learn more, we
too will be filling the gaps. Bilingual (English and French) links are iden fied with an asterisk*.

Caucus des employés fédéraux noirs (CEFN) - Guide de ressources
Caucus des employés fédéraux noirs
Le Caucus des employés fédéraux noirs (CEFN) appuie les efforts déployés au niveau na onal,
régional et local pour remédier aux enjeux auxquels font face les fonc onnaires fédéraux noirs.
Les deux objec fs du CEFN consistent à :
● recueillir des données ven lées sur l’équité en ma ère d’emploi pour mieux comprendre
où travaillent les employés fédéraux noirs et leur situa on;
● soutenir la santé mentale des employés noirs en travaillant ensemble afin de réduire le
harcèlement et la discrimina on en milieu de travail.
Racisme envers les Noirs
Le terme « racisme envers les Noirs » a été formulé pour la première fois par Akua Benjamin,
professeure de travail social à l’Université Ryerson. Ce terme fait ressor r la nature par culière
du racisme systémique à l’égard des Canadiens noirs. Il s’agit de préjugés, d’a tudes, de
croyances, de stéréotypes ou de discrimina on à l’égard des personnes d’ascendance africaine
qui trouvent leur origine dans l’histoire et l’expérience uniques de l’esclavage et de la
colonisa on. Le racisme envers les Noirs est actuellement profondément enraciné dans les
ins tu ons, les poli ques et les pra ques canadiennes.
Lu er contre le racisme envers les Noirs
Chaque personne peut prendre au moins trois mesures interdépendantes pour lu er contre le
racisme envers les Noirs.
● Reconnaître que le racisme envers les Noirs existe au Canada – il s’agit de la première
étape de l’examen de ses répercussions et de ses conséquences. Le racisme envers les
Noirs nuit à nos percep ons et à nos ac ons et les façonne, peu importe si on en re
profit, on l’intériorise ou on le combat.
● S’informer et/ou sensibiliser les autres en prenant conscience des lacunes dans les
connaissances del’expérience des Canadiens noirs. À mesure que vous repérez des
lacunes dans vos connaissances, prenez la responsabilité de commencer à les combler.
● Trop souvent, on laisse les personnes d’ascendance africaine briser le silence et/ou agir
contre le racisme envers les Noirs. En ne brisant pas le silence et/ou en n’agissant pas
contre le racisme envers les Noirs, on ne fait que maintenir ou renforcer le racisme
envers les Noirs. Plus de gens doivent avoir la volonté de briser le silence et de déployer
de grands efforts.
Ressources
De nombreuses ressources sont offertes pour tenir compte des complexités de la lu e contre le
racisme envers les Noirs. La manière et le moment d’u liser ces ressources dépendent du
niveau de connaissances d’un individu et/ou d’une organisa on, de ses objec fs d’appren ssage
et de sa volonté/capacité à agir contre le racisme envers les Noirs. Le CEFN peut aider à
déterminer les besoins et à recommander des plans d’appren ssage/d’ac on. Les
recommanda ons de ressources figurant dans le présent document ne cons tuent pas une liste
exhaus ve des ressources en ma ère de lu e contre le racisme envers les Noirs. Le CEFN est
résolu à déployer de grands efforts. Nous comblerons aussi les lacunes au fur et à mesure que
nous en apprendrons davantage.
