In light of the events of the past week and the upcoming inauguration, we have extended the deadline for applications to the Anti-Racism Study Group. Please feel free to contact either one of us if you have questions. We hope you'll join us.

- 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. Participants are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis.
