What is HAARC?
What is HAARC?
HAARC stands for the Hamilton Area Anti-Racism Coalition, established in Hamilton, NY in January of 2018, located on the traditional lands of the Oneida peoples of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. HAARC is made up of your neighbors and friends, and we care deeply about engaging in conversations about racism (and other problematic -isms) in Madison County and Central New York. While talking can be a great place to start, we’ll also be doing much more! As this organization grows, we invite you to join us - to learn, grow, protest, and celebrate with us.

Our Mission Statement
Our Mission Statement
The Hamilton Area Anti-Racism Coalition (HAARC) is an organization that aims to disrupt structural racism and build an equitable and just community through dialogue, action, and education.
In response to the call from communities of color to do antiracism work, we follow and share guidance and inspiration from generations of activists. By bringing awareness to all forms of racism in our daily lives and in larger social, economic, and political systems, we seek to be agents of change who help heal the damage that structural inequality does to everyone.
This work requires confronting all forms of oppression that reinforce and sustain each other, including racism, classism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, and xenophobia.
HAARC Monthly Meetings
We are currently holding our monthly meetings on the first Tuesday of each month from 6:00-7:00pm, usually in person with a Zoom option for folks who can't travel easily. The location is announced in the monthly newsletter, and we send a message with a reminder about the meeting location and the Zoom link the afternoon of each meeting so it won't get lost in your inbox! Sign up for our email list or email us directly for info.
