Waking Up White Collaborative Statement of Purpose
While reading Waking Up White and holding a White Privilege Symposium in La Crosse in 2021, we will be asking ourselves the question, "What does it mean to be White?" and helping community members learn that there is a white racial viewpoint that is narrow & limited and that others do not share. An additional and important educational component is to have our community gain a collective understanding of how white supremacy, white privilege, and other forms of oppression operate in general -- and in particular, in the La Crosse region.
EDUCATE because this project's intent is to facilitate White Racial Literacy. Robin Diangelo, author of White Fragility, states that "Ignorance of Whiteness is not neutral or benign - but has profound implications for our self-identity and how we White people relate to People of Color and our society".
CREATE SPACES FOR COMMUNITY DIALOGUE through "Deep Dives" -- facilitated conversations on race and related topics in small groups of diverse community members -- and through community readings and discussions of the book Waking Up White by Debby Irving.
STRENGTHEN OUR COMMUNITY'S NETWORK & RELATIONSHIPS by creating connections to individuals, organizations and resources committed to justice and equity.
EXECUTE ACTIONS that move our community beyond "Diversity and Inclusion" and toward a more comprehensive understanding of, and challenge to, white supremacy, white privilege and other race-based forms of oppression.
HOLD OURSELVES AND OUR COMMUNITY ACCOUNTABLE TO ANTI-RACISM CHANGES AND ACTIONS
