SUMMARY:White Folks Dismantling White Supremacy
DESCRIPTION:White Folks Dismantling White Supremacy  This week we will watc
 h and discuss parts of a webinar "White Backlash: why it happens and how w
 e fight back."   The main speaker is UCLA activist and historian Robin D
 . G. Kellley\, who addresses how the far-right mob storming the US Capitol
  building on January 6th  is part of a long history of white-organized ba
 cklash to Black-led struggle and victories.  If we wish to dismantle whit
 e supremacy\, we must understand this situation in its historical context 
 in order to be able to strategically build power to fight back.\n\n\n\nThe
  webinar was put on by SURJ -- Standing Up for Racial Justice -- an organi
 zation committed to organizing white communities for racial justice.  We'
 ll learn something about SURJ in the webinar\, and Kristi will describe he
 r experience with SURJ.\n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by the Action Council and the 
 Adult Religious Education Committee\, this study/action group meets twice 
 a month\, on the second and fourth Tuesday evenings from 7:15 to 8:45 via 
 Zoom. The second-Tuesday sessions\, led by Rev. Amy Zucker Morgenstern\, a
 re focused on the series "Seeing White" from the podcast Scene on Radio. T
 he fourth-Tuesday sessions\, led by Kristi Iverson and Susan Owicki\, are 
 focused on action and reflection.\n\nWe are calling the group "White Folks
  . . . " because we recognize the need for white people to do much of the 
 work of dismantling white supremacy. It's also important to have anti-raci
 sm learning spaces for white folks\, where they can grapple with new ideas
  about racism and speak candidly about their fears and misconceptions. It 
 can be painful for people of color to witness these conversations\, so we 
 have created this space apart from the main body of the congregation. That
  said\, all people of whatever race or background are welcome to attend an
 y or all sessions.\n\nIf you would like to participate\, please sign up to
  be on the class email list by sending an email to DismantlingWhiteSuprema
 cy+subscribe@uucpa.org.
