About the Code of Silence Workbook

Many organizations know that intersectionality is important. But very few can say what they did about it last Tuesday. At the intersection of race and disability specifically, most organizations haven’t started the conversation — not from indifference, but from fear, discomfort, and a lack of data. This silence is kept in place by policies, practices, and the absence of clear language to name what is happening.

The code of silence ends where your practice begins.

Our Code of Silence workbook guides you through a reflection on your organization’s policies and practices around Race and Disability, and shows you what to do next.

Who is this workbook for?

  • Disability, non-profit, and public sector leaders
  • IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility) professionals

What’s inside?

Shaped by the lived and learned expertise of racialized disabled people, this workbook includes:

  • 01Practical exercises that draw from your organization’s policies and practices to help you go beyond generic checklists and best practices.
  • 02Exercises designed for both individual reflection and team-wide practice. No external facilitator needed.
  • 03Testimonies from our team highlighting the specific policies that have made our organization truly accessible and inclusive for them, followed by detailed breakdowns of our approach on each highlighted policy, to help you imagine true Race and Disability inclusion in practice.

What do you leave with?

Clear, specific, and factual language to articulate where your organization is at when it comes to Race and Disability, including:

  • 01Where the silence lives in your organization
  • 02How your organization’s policies and practices reinforce those silences, and
  • 03How you can break the code of silence.

Land Acknowledgement

Staff at Race and Disability Canada live and work on the traditional territories of many Indigenous Nations, including Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the un-ceded Anishinobe Algonquin territory. We acknowledge the legacy of colonization and oppression of indigenous peoples in Canada and beyond. We hope that all indigenous people in Canada and around the world have their rights protected and honoured. As a Canada-wide organization committed to tackling issues within the interconnectedness of race and disability, our work is bound with indigenous solidarity. We are on a constant journey to uphold this commitment.
