About Us
Who we Are
Welcome to the African Coalition Club (ACC), an exclusive organization that brings together African professionals, entrepreneurs, youth and scholars from diverse backgrounds and experiences, headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. As a member of the club, you’ll join a Canada-wide community of like-minded individuals committed to advancing the interests of African Canadians and promoting unity and progress in our various communities.
The African Coalition Club is open to anyone who identifies as African or a descendant of Africa and persons of African heritage in Canada, including African immigrants, Caribbeans in Canada, Black Americans in Canada, and friends of African Canadians that call Canada home. The club is committed to promoting its objectives with integrity and service to the community.
The club is designed to be an apolitical organization that selects, leads, and directs policy initiatives at the federal, provincial, and municipal levels to ensure equitable allocation of resources to our community members using legislative instruments. At the heart of the organization is a desire to drive collaboration through identified collective entities to receive, manage, and allocate resources to the grassroots.
Currently, the African Coalition Club has positioned itself as an ambassadorial organization ready to engage and streamline high-level policy initiatives using fact-driven grassroots data to negotiate fairness in all sectors of our economy, public and private, for our members, and by extension such member’s respective community associations in a transparent and inclusive manner, both now and in the future.
As a member of the African Coalition Club, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to policy decisions that affect the African Canadian community and work collaboratively with like-minded individuals across Canada to advance the interests of our community.
The African Coalition Club serves as a voice for Africans, and works synergistically with i) the Calgary African Community Collective (CACC), which is a city-wide grassroots mobilization mother-organizations that serves as a vital support system for all community-facing grassroots organizations; ii) the Black North Initiative (BNI), which interfaces with the corporate world to expand access and opportunities for Black Canadians; iii) other organizations that work towards providing access and opportunities for Black and African Canadians.
