For generations, Black communities in Ontario have been forced to navigate healthcare systems shaped by systemic anti-Black racism, inequity, and harm.

Black families are too often left to navigate systems that fail to protect their dignity, safety, and wellbeing.

For generations, Black communities in Ontario have been forced to navigate healthcare systems shaped by systemic anti-Black racism, inequity, and harm. Black women continue to have their pain dismissed. Black children and youth face barriers to culturally responsive care. Black families are too often left to navigate systems that fail to protect their dignity, safety, and wellbeing.

Bill 115, the Black Health Equity Act, 2026, represents a critical opportunity to move beyond performative commitments and toward real systems change. This legislation would strengthen accountability in healthcare through race-based data collection, equity audits, culturally responsive mental health supports, and Black-led advocacy mechanisms.

This is more than policy.

This is about justice, dignity, and the right to equitable care.

We cannot afford more delays. We cannot accept more harm.

Join BWIH’s Day of Action. Contact your MPP. Demand the passage of Bill 115.

Because Black health cannot wait.

Although this is an email template with guided language we would like you to use, we highly recommend that you tailor the message in your own words. This is to ensure that your emails reach the intended recipients inbox and is not flagged as spam. 

1. Lead with who you are and what you want: "I am writing as a constituent to request..." 

2. Include data using the Voices Unheard report: "42% of Black women are avoiding care because of how they are treated in the healthcare system."

3. Make a direct, specific ask: “I am asking you to support and pass Bill 115…” clarity forces accountability.

4. Use structured demands: "Fund a provincial Black Health Equity Framework"

5. Reinforce urgency without exaggeration: “Black women cannot continue to…”

6. End with accountability and expectation of response: “I would appreciate a response…”
