Who is this course for?
This e-course was designed for non-black people who are open to starting their journey in becoming an antiracist, catalyzing the lifelong journey towards transformative allyship. This course is for those who want to:
- Understand systems which make up the enabling environment for white supremacy
- Unpack white fragility and its impact on antiracism
- Analyze and adjust everyday manifestations of racism within your environment
- Create antiracist practices which aid in dismantling white supremacy
What’s the structure of this course?
Through safe digital spaces to unpack with peers, e-resources with reflection exercises, and facilitated small group discussions, we hope our participants will:
- Unpack their identity, privilege and, role within systems of oppression
- Develop a more robust understanding of how systemic racism impacts their everyday lives and has deathly effects on black people
- Identify windows of opportunity within their community to shift from feelings of shock/sadness/confusion to radical anti-racist action
- Develop clear calls for anti-racist action for family units, workplaces, neighborhoods, and social circles.
This e-course was created to support participants in shifting paradigms within themselves AND their communities, in an effort to dismantle the racist, white supremacist, patriarchal, capitalist structures around us. This 4-week e-course will include:
- A welcome webinar introducing you to this learning journey, hosted by Be Better. Do Better. facilitators featuring special guest, Rachel Cargle!
- This webinar will explain how this course will be run, why it is important now, and potential next steps personally and collectively.
- A curated set of e-resources and self-guided reflection exercises to complete independently.
- A two-hour virtual workshop intended to establish personal calls to action based on each participant’s learning journey.
- Entry into the Be Better. Do Better Community of Practice intended to allow all of us to collectively resource ourselves in support of transformative anti-racism globally.
- Here we will share resources, convene virtually for guided discussions, and exchange lessons learned
