Each “white” person has important contributions to offer in the movement towards truth and repair.
Many of us are taking important actions like phonebanking, donating, and volunteering.
We are learning by doing workshops, reading books, watching documentaries and visiting museums.
When it comes to speaking up at the dinner table, or responding to a racist policy at work, many of us freeze or react unproductively.
No matter how much we learn, taking action with the “white” people we already know can be the hardest thing to do. It’s also the most effective, because we have the most influence to make change where we already have relationships.
THIS IS WHAT RECKON WITH PROVIDES
Responding to what’s happening in our lives every day is challenging. We need support to do it well and consistently.
