WHITE ANTIRACIST GROUPS
Here is a list of groups to build your collective of White people. Feel free to share others with us.
Constructive White Conversations: Constructive White Conversations is a gathering in which those who identify as white speak freely and openly about race, racism, oppression, isolation, and all related issues. Constructive White Conversations is a place for white people who want to understand and dismantle racism, build and maintain white anti-racist community, and explore the nature of white identity.
White Awake: White Awake combats white supremacy by focusing on educational resources and spiritual practices designed to support the engagement of people who’ve been socially categorized as “white” in the creation of a just and sustainable society.
Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ): We are a national network of groups and individuals organizing white people for racial and and economic justice. When we fight racism, we all win.
AWARE-LA (All of White Antiracists Everywhere – LA): Virtual dialogues where all are welcome. Saturday Dialogue is a gathering for white anti-racists who want to discuss issues of identity, community, privilege and racism in our lives with the intention to strengthen our practice as anti-racists in alliances, relationships, and interactions with people of color. (AWARE-LA is the home of our very own Shelly)
Center for the Study of White American Culture, Inc.: We are an anti-racist, multiracial group of people who want to live in a society which has achieved racial justice and equity. Home to Anti-racist Community Network.
