Overview
White people are going to have to do some internal work as it relate to racism. We can take down statues, we can rename schools, but until we do that internal work racism will remain the same. - Kelcy Steele , 2020
The Antiracist Card Project
I have made many cards with images and quotes highlighting antiracism. I am selling them at CWOS for a donation with all sales to be given to a local organization(still to be determined) working for racial justice/antiracism.
I am asking people to then send these cards to friends, family and colleagues and write a message inside the card to begin a conversation about racial justice/antiracism. I am including an insert so that the first recipient can glue it inside the card and send it again.
Let the card writing and sending begin and our understanding of our own racism and efforts towards antiracism grow.
