H&C Inc. Stands in Solidarity with BIPOC

We stand in solidarity with the Black Community, Indigenous Community and all People of Colour who are fighting against systemic racism and oppression. While we continue to navigate life during a global pandemic, we cannot ignore the current social and political climate in North America. There is no place for harassment and discrimination in our society.

We will be muting our content from June 1st to June 7th to support the #AmplifyMelanatedVoices Movement, to increase access to the voices that truly matter right now. 

Please join us as we research and educate ourselves through influential people and admirable organizations, who are fighting to create a society we can ALL be proud of. The following list of resources will continue to grow, as we continue to educate and research the amazing resources available to us. #BIPOCLivesMatter #AmplifyBIPOCVoices
