Welcome to 2021! We hope you and yours brought the-year-that-shall-not-be-named to a close with good health and some well-deserved rest. Finally. Now, we look forward to continuing to work with you through what will surely be an interesting 2021.

One of the ways we hope to connect is through on-going anti-racism work and we hope you will consider participating in our Anti-Racism Study Group.

We piloted this in Fall 2020 with the hope of creating a space for people who identify as white to learn with and from each other about race and racism in this country and about our individual and collective roles in it.

We are gratified that those who participated found it a valuable step in their learning process. Based on that experience, we are offering it this winter with a few modifications.

- Francine and Kande

Our goals are to create a learning community where people who identify as white can:

  • Learn more about both the nation’s and their own history regarding race and racism,

  • Be constructively challenged to recognize and question assumptions,

  • Increase their ability to engage in meaningful conversations about race and racism with other white people, with Black people and with other people of color,

  • Commit to anti-racist practices in one of their spheres of influence.

Content: We take advantage of the wealth of multi-media resources available to further our education and as prompts for self-reflection and challenging conversation.
Topics include: history of race and racism, white privilege, intersectionality, allyship, and systemic racism. 

Participants:  We are expressly inviting people who identify as white as we have particular work to do. This is not a substitute for participation in mixed race conversations and programs; rather, it is meant to complement that crucial work. 

Commitment: Participants are asked to commit to:

  • 6 (90-minute) sessions, meeting every other week
  • 1-2 hours of pre-work for each session
  • 6 (1-hour) peer consultations with a learning partner in between Study Group sessions

Application: Please complete an application to let us know about your learning needs and interests. In addition, applicants are asked to identify a domain of work for implementing anti-racist practices.

"This program created the mental space I needed to allow me to see how the systemic racism in our society has shaped my beliefs and presumptions. The group discussions both inspired me to be honest with myself and inspired me to make an active effort to change my behaviors in ways to reduce or mitigate the racist tendencies I have internalized over the decades."
