Russian Canadian Democratic Alliance (RCDA)

Russian Canadian Democratic Alliance (RCDA) is a federal non-governmental organization founded on principles of democracy, anti-imperialism, human and civil rights, and aimed at building and supporting the Russian Canadian and Russian expatriate community.WHO WE ARERussian Canadian Democratic Alliance (RCDA) is a federal non-government organization registered in Ontario, Canada.OUR MISSIONTo contribute to the development of the Russian Canadian community around the ideals of democracy, human and civil rights, and the rule of law.OUR VALUES– We condemn all wars ever waged by Russia, including the military aggression against Ukraine in 2014, which escalated into a full-scale invasion in February 2022.– We oppose colonial and imperial mentality and believe that Russia, like Canada, must undergo a process of decolonization.– We stand for equal rights for all regardless of one’s gender, age, sexual orientation, ethnicity, skin color and eye shape, physical or mental abilities.– We demand that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights be observed in Russia.OUR GOALThe Russian government and, in particular, the Russian Embassy in Canada are unable to represent our interests. Seeing the need for democratic Russians in Canada to unite, activists from different cities and provinces of Canada teamed up and founded RCDA. Our plan is to form a strong community and create a platform to represent Russian Canadians and Russians in Canada who share democratic values.WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY DONEEven before the RCDA was created, our activists were supporting Russian human rights organizations, organizing and participating in rallies, organizing evenings of letter-writing to political prisoners, and fundraisers for humanitarian aid to Ukraine, including the most recent one, which you can support at gofundme. We plan to continue these activities under the RCDA.WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE FUTUREOn our social media, we will be publishing information about the events, initiatives, and rallies corresponding to our mission and values. In particular, we plan to announce protests, concerts of Russian musicians openly opposing the war, lectures, conferences, meetups and other cultural events.
