EVERY ACTION COUNTS

Dismantling racism will ultimately require big and small actions from every single one of us. Every decision we make is a chance to take action. How will you take action against racism today?

Setting the Scene: Taking actions against racism requires a strong foundation. Together we must build and maintain accountable spaces of trust, curiosity, humility, and courage where relationships are the center of decision making.

TALKING

Words matter. We have to talk about racism in constructive dialogue.

Putting words to experiences of racism can help us take action.

RECOGNIZING

It’s not whether racism shows up. It’s how. Naming racism in all its forms helps us take action against it.

DISRUPTING

Every action can disrupt. Small actions add up to bigger impact, like pointing out the unintended harm of a friend’s comment, taking responsibility for a hurtful remark you made, speaking up for policy changes in your workplace. Every time we choose to disrupt rather than let things stay the same, we are making progress.

COPING

Until we end racism and achieve liberation for all, we must build emotional and social supports. This support can keep us going and maintain the momentum for a movement.

HEALING

Racism historically and currently causes pain and suffering. Collectively and as individuals, we must heal and repair harm as we build a liberated future together.

“It really is incredible to know that these conversations are being had in workplaces, especially in schools.”
