Online webinar

If we want to dismantle the systemic racism that runs rampant in our communities, we need to take a hard look at history and understand the roles white women play in the system.

This webinar seeks to meet the gravity of the moment we are in: an unprecedented opportunity for white women to understand both the context of our legacies of violence and complicity in white supremacy, as well as the window that remains open for hundreds and thousands of us to be on the right side of history and advance work in support and affirmation of Black life.

PANELISTS:

Caitlin Breedlove, Chief Strategy Officer, Women's March (Moderator)
Liz Theoharis, Co-Chair, Poor People's Campaign
Jenna Arnold, Women's March 2017 organizer and author of Raising Our Hands
Kate Shapiro, Director of Organizing, Women's March

if you want to dismantle systemic racism:

start by terminating terms such as white and black.
Decline to state isn't a race. Nor is white.
White isn't a place.

I am Irish, Russian and Swedish.

Terms are used for data collection, affirmative action, and can be used to be oppressive.

I find it offensive and degrading to be called white.

If you want to have the conversation then have it.
If you insist on dehumanizing people who are your allies, then that's on you.
