White Folks Dismantling White Supremacy
The next session of White Folks Dismantling White Supremacy is coming up on Tuesday, August 24 at 7:15 on Zoom. During this session we will listen to a podcast by Ibram X Kendi on the intersection of racism and homophobia, followed by a discussion. If you are interested in how to be an ally for racial and/or gender justice, this session is for you! Hope to see you there!
If you would like to attend this session and are not subscribed to the email list, please send a request to join to dismantlingwhitesupremacy@uucpa.org. Zoom information for the session will be sent to this list early next week. We welcome new attendees at any time!
Co-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, are focused on the series “Seeing White” from the podcast Scene on Radio. The fourth-Tuesday sessions, led by Kristi Iverson and Susan Owicki, are focused on action and reflection.
We 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-racism 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 any or all sessions.
If you would like to participate, please sign up to be on the class email list by sending an email to DismantlingWhiteSupremacy+subscribe@uucpa.org.
