SJC Live: Unpacking Structural Racism
Building an anti-racist practice requires more than simply addressing racism as it manifests at the individual level. We must work to understand the ways in which racism is built into the systems and structures of our society, how these systems significantly impact the lives of racialized and marginalized communities, and how we can take direct action to address structural inequities.
SJC Live is a virtual space for expanding our individual and collective capacities to manifest transformative social change. Together, we will open conversation that centers the people and work of racial justice movements, and calls us into solidarity through anti-racist action.
