​Were you taught that your individual identity was more important than your connection to your community? Does your sense of individual responsibility lead to feelings of guilt that prevents you from showing up fully for racial justice work? Have you been looking for a "life hack" or quick fix to end racism? Our current system was created for white people to buy into the concept of individualism and forget about our part of a collective. We have been conditioned to believe that there are quick fixes to problems and then when things don't change we give up. In this session we will explore the White Supremacy Culture Characteristics of Individualism and Sense of Urgency. We will look into how these characteristics show up in our lives and explore ways to show up for racial justice as part of a collective committed to the lifelong work of dismantling white supremacy.

Looking for some inspiration for your activism? Curious about the rich history of white antiracists who came before us in this movement? Join SURJ Bay Area for this virtual workshop!
​
Using a reading about Anne Braden’s life as a foundation, we will develop a vision for how we can best learn from the lives and lessons of some of the greatest White antiracists in U.S. history. This will include reflecting on Braden’s antiracist growth process to better understand our own, and examining her strategies to identify lessons we could adapt to our current organizing. In community, we will discuss our key takeaways and big questions. The evening will be facilitated by educator, author, and activist Lynn Burnett, who is building a project to write about White antiracist history and to get the lessons from that history into White antiracist spaces.
