Moving into the month of February, Week 6 acknowledges the multiple forms of racism and the pervasiveness of White Supremacy. Please read, reflect, and share these resources widely!
Deepen your understanding of racism and White Supremacy culture.
Educate yourself on the different expressions of racism: personal, cultural, and institutional. Understand how racism structurally normalizes Whiteness and continues to shape laws, policies, and practices, which disproportionately impact communities of color, and particularly women of color.
