Objective
For us, Anti- Racism requires an understanding of how years of federal, state, and local policies have placed communities of color at risk and in crisis. It is a “call to action” that demands that we decry such policies as “racist.”
We also believe Antiracism is about recognizing one’s own position in a racist society, and locates the roots of problems in power and policies that privilege one group of people over others.
The adoption of the word “antiracist” in our vision statement signals our intention to identify and fight against racist practices and policies in order to achieve a more egalitarian society.
Core Values
Celebrate:
In spite of our circumstances, we can celebrate with our families/friends, culture, music, food, history etc.
Educate:
For those who join us on Juneteenth, or at any other time, it’ll be those moments where various anti-racist conversations will take place, inclusive of scenarios, personal stories, vocabulary, guest speakers, training, and workshops. It’ll be a space for genuineness without criticism. Each member and guest will always have opportunities for self-reflection, for the purpose of personal growth. We will endeavor to educate with the purpose of unity.
Cultivate:
We will endeavor to build ongoing AntiRacist_Conversations with Allies and others, for the purpose of breaking down racist barriers…right where we are
