What Will White Womyn Do To End Racism? Equity: The Lack of.... Sept 24th

Can we count the ways in which (the lack of) equity robs and devastates Black and brown people while unjustly enhancing and protecting the lives and lifestyles of white people?

This time our “What Will White Womyn Do To End Racism” zoom gatherings will embrace Dr. Nikki Ranier’s recent “Racial Equity Challenge”as our springboard for discussing, understanding, revealing the impact and daily (mostly unconscious among most white people) benefits and detriments of racism while we strategize together to hold each other accountable as we increase our anti-racism tool-box, enabling us to act more powerfully against racism and establish racial equity.

In 2020, news of the horrific police murder of George Floyd and the earlier killing of Beonna Taylor motivated several white womyn to come together to figure out what white womyn were going to do to end racism.

Now there’s the much lesser promulgated news of the police murder of Ta’Kiya Young and her unborn daughter, the laws that imprison mothers like Victoria Lopez destroying her family while depriving and impoverishing her children, the 33% increase in the banning of books most by Black or brown womyn and men especially the truth-telling critical race ‘theory’ ones, the staggering disparities of homelessness occurring - or not - by race .

Equity.

Will this search centering around the means to identify and achieve racial equity inspire you to join us this Sunday evening 7pm eastern, 4pm pacific?

Because this is Yom Kippur, it will not count as our first of 6 zoom gatherings but an extra gathering. Please email, message or text me for the zoom link.
