Confronting Racism and White Supremacy
Core Commitment
We are committed to calling out racism and share the burden of dismantling white supremacy. We do this by building confidence and effective means for calling out and ‘calling in’ racism, critiquing and dismantling white supremacist assumptions, narratives and histories, and moving beyond shame to education and transformation.
We believe that by lifting the voices and experiences of women and people of color higher, we can work towards our commitment.
Dismantling white supremacy begins with encouraging and protecting open and critical discussions of how racism and white supremacy still shape, operate in and limit what we can achieve in security, defense, funding, education and international policy fields.
Projects
Purpose: This paper examines white supremacy through a lens that aims to better and more inclusively define it systemically and individually.
Key content: White supremacist culture is a widespread ideology baked into beliefs, norms, and standards of groups, communities, towns, states, and nations that teaches people both overtly and covertly that whiteness holds intrinsic value. Each section of this paper explores the diverse social and policy implications that influence the creation and sustenance of white supremacy in human culture, systems, and social settings by exploring the historical foundations as well as implications domestically and internationally.
