Action Covid Montreal- We are a Tiohtià:ke / Montréal based mutual aid collective offering free masks, rapid tests, and information related to COVID. We believe that the “new normal” should be about community care and creating a world where everyone is free.

Black Healing Centre - The Black Healing Centre’s core mission is to create an accessible and safer space for Black people to gather, connect, and heal. Our intention Is to create an anti-oppressive, anti-racist community hub where people of African descent feel seen, heard, and supported. Our promise is to create an intentional space for us by us.

Cultur’elles MTL is an organization dedicated to the advancement of BIPOC women in the fields of culture, arts, and media through creative workshops, digital content, and artistic/cultural events.

CIRCLZ is a discussion group for Black people to discuss among themselves about issues that they face inside of their communities but don’t find enough spaces to address these issues deeply. The conversations will be filmed in order to use it as an education tool. Conversations will be filmed and recorded with the consent of the participants. These discussions have the intent to build community outside of moments of reactions due to anti-Blackness incidents happening in Montreal and Quebec

Community Cooks Collective is a mutual-aid initiative dedicated to cooking for and transporting meals to people experiencing homelessness in Montreal/Tiohtià:ke. Join one of our events, grab your spatula, and help make a difference for those in need! Nous parlons français aussi!

Food Against Fascism -In 2017, as part of ongoing efforts to oppose and resist the rise of far-right, anti-immigrant, fascist, and colonial ideologies and movements, local anti-fascist organizers and activists launched Food Against Fascism. We gather together regularly to make hot, healthy, tasty meals that we then serve in public spaces. We also have informational materials related to social justice struggles.

Diasporic Plant Wisdom- Plant Wisdom is an intergenerational, intra-diasporic initiative that aims to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and solidarity building among Indigenous and diasporic communities living in Tio’Tia:ke / Montreal by sharing herbal medicine and food traditions.

Pan Action Collective (PAC)- PAC aims to fill a gap in the McGill community by creating a space meant for Pan-Asian support, education and solidarity. We are not bound by the common experience that comes with being racialized as Asian and recognize that Asian communities have historically been divided and racialized differently, having different relationships with colonial powers and other Asian communities. Through this collective, we hope to give space for Pan-Asian solidarity and resilience.


The Prisoner Correspondence Project is a collectively run initiative in Montreal, Quebec. We coordinate a direct-correspondence program for gay, lesbian, transsexual, transgender, gender variant, two-spirit, intersex, bisexual and queer prisoners in Canada and the United States, linking them with non-incarcerated members of the same communities.

Solidarity Across Borders is a Montreal-based network engaged in the struggle for justice and dignity of immigrants and refugees. We are comprised of migrants, immigrants, refugees and allies, and come together in support of our main demands: the regularization of all non-status people (Status for All!), an end to deportations and detentions, and the abolition of double punishment of migrants with criminal records. For us, there is no such thing as \”illegal\” human beings, only unjust laws and illegitimate governments. We organize not on the basis of charity, but rather solidarity and mutual aid.

The Trans Patient Union is an advocacy and mutual aid collective by and for trans and nonbinary patients at McGill and in broader Tio’tia:ke (colonially known as Montreal).

Women of Diverse Origins is an alliance of grassroots women’s groups and individuals from diverse cultural communities, which has organized the International Women’s Day demonstration for 20 years and other events that reflect our militant stand and our awareness about the world context and the role of our struggles within it.
