ANSJI Vision
Our Vision
To create programs and services that adequately address institutional racism faced by African Nova Scotians and Black People of African Descent and their families when dealing with human rights complaints, the justice system, all forms of law enforcement and incarceration.
The ANSJI will be a place African Nova Scotians/ Black People of African Descent can turn to when seeking legal advice, guidance and advocacy that understands African Nova Scotians as a distinct people.
Government, non-governmental organizations, academic institutions, and community groups will look to the ANSJI as a leader in legal research, advocacy and education on justice issues affecting African Nova Scotian/ Black People of African Descent communities.
