Being The Change: Links for Justice, Equity, And Liberation
Here is a list of links and sites from leaders that I have found helpful to me in my work in learning about racism and all its insidious forms, and learning to be anti-racist, creating racial equity, and establishing mutual liberation. This is only a tiny list of what is available, and this list will likely change from time to time. Please let me know if you have cites that have helped you to learn.
It is important for white-bodied people to create conversation around race, racism, white-body supremacy, and whiteness. Can you form a conversational group to begin these dialogues? Until we actively practice making a culture of discussing these topics, real change will remain illusive.
This work is not about being perfect, it is quite the opposite. It is about noticing our flaws and imperfections, and not collapsing under that knowing.
