More Details about Dialogues
Why is processing important when there is so much action needed so urgently?
Communal learning and processing is a supplement to participating in collective action for racial justice, not a replacement. In order for white folks to show up accountably and steadfastly in BIPOC-led movements for racial justice, we need to build our capacity to witness and confront the ways we have internalized the white supremacist cultural conditioning we've all been subject to. This can be a long, difficult, and sometimes painful process. It’s helpful to have a space where other people engaged in this process can support and challenge us. Having a community of anti-racist people gives us hope, helps us find a new way to live that is free from the binds of white supremacy culture and and gives us strength to stay in the work for the long haul.
