Getting at the Root: White Supremacy in Our Communities and Ourselves {Part 2}
Channel: Church of the Larger Fellowship - CLFUU
Date: 2016-03-16

Allies for Racial Equity, in collaboration with the Church of the Larger Fellowship, offered a series of free webinars this spring. This is the first session and explored foundational ideas to countering oppression. 

In this second session, we covered the following areas of Tema Okun's markers of White Supremacy Culture:

Worship of the Written Word  
Quantity Over Quality   
Progress is Bigger, More  
Power Hoarding   
Paternalism  aka  Patriarchy  
Only One Right Way   
Objectivity   

In our racial justice work, it often seems like we face the same challenges, bump into similar themes, or learn certain lessons over and over and over again. 

● Where are they rooted? 
● How do we get unstuck? 
● How can we help get one another unstuck?

Guided by Tema Okun's analysis of White Supremacy Culture

and some of our own experiences, we'll explore creative solutions, tactics, and practices to build increasingly anti­racist, anti­-oppressive communities... from the inside out.
