Conclusion
From: Uprooting Racism
$0.50
We can make a difference because each of us is already part of the community where racism exists and thrives. We are connected to neighborhoods, workplaces, schools, and religious organizations. Our connections, our relationships, our positions in these organizations give us leverage to change them. Every time we add another white ally to our network, we increase our leverage. And every time white people step up as allies to people of color, that leverage increases the possibility of achieving racial justice.
