Confronting Whiteness: An Anti-Racism Workshop for White Folks
2.5 Hour Workshop
Whether you are new to this journey or have been unpacking your White privilege for decades, this workshop will help you develop personal skills for confronting systemic racism.
Learn more about how we as white people can show up for each other and racialized people in our lives. We will gain skills to support us in moving the dial on our allyship/accomplice work for justice as communities of faith.
You’ll have the chance to talk to other White folks about topics ranging from “How do I deal with my racist uncle?” to “What’s White culture?” to “Wait, I’m a Settler?!"
The course comes out of decades of anti-racism work led by people of colour, and a persistent ask for White folks to engage in our own work of confronting whiteness individually, interpersonally, and organizationally.
