What We Believe

• Racism is the oppression of people due to the social construct of race backed by a system of racism that confers privilege and power on White people

​

• While structural racism is the foremost barrier to equity in the U.S., systems are comprised of individuals and therefore individuals must change to dismantle racism

​

• The ripples of antiracist change can positively impact entire communities 

​

• The work of being antiracist has a beginning, it does not have an end

​

• While growth requires discomfort, it also requires care and dignity

​

• A deep understanding of intersecting identities is important in being antiracist

​

• The goal of antiracism is equity
