Anti-Racism
"Anti-racism is the active process of identifying and eliminating racism by changing systems, organizational structures, policies and practices and attitudes, so that power is redistributed and shared equitably."
- NAC International Perspectives: Women and Global Solidarity
It is not enough to simply be "not racist."

This website has several quick definitions and explanations of the goals of anti-racism and the ways in which we continue to be racist, even unintentionally.

"We imagine every high school in the United States requiring racial and intersectional literacy curriculum, by first investing in our educators—that way, young people like us can grow up not only proud of their backgrounds, but invested in others’ experiences as if they were their own. We imagine a community of sharing, where all members can listen, learn, and teach each other amidst mutual love and suffering. We imagine us all collaborating to co-create a new, shared American culture, one that equally values each of us. That's the story of our nation we seek to share one day."
- BTB101. Be the Bridge. n.d. Web. 20 Oct 2019.
"We turn up the voices of the marginalized and require that those in the dominant culture listen, educate themselves on history, grow their empathy muscles and develop language to understand marginalization and oppression."
