Join Bakau Consulting, an equity, inclusion, and anti-racism consulting firm based in Vancouver, for an online media workshop.

This includes navigating “biased algorithms, racist conspiracy theories, election interference, and performative online allyship.” The event is open to all and tickets can be purchased online by donation.
