OUR MISSION
Women Confronting Racism is dedicated to addressing the critical issues of our time that disproportionately affect women, especially women of color. We create space for education, dialogue, and bold action to challenge and dismantle systemic racism. Together with allies, we are committed to driving meaningful and lasting change in our communities and beyond.
BLACK LIVES MATTER
For centuries Black lives have been, and continue to be, devalued, denied, disrespected, threatened and extinguished with impunity in our country. As a nation, we must dismantle systems of structural racism which marginalize and oppress Black people. Now is the time to join in solidarity around our common
humanity.
Therefore, Women Confronting Racism:
• Unites with those seeking justice for the murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and so many other known and unknown victims of police violence.
• Commits to the long struggle to end unjust policies and systemic racism everywhere.
• Stands with all those who name and denounce police brutality, white supremacy, and language which divides, belittles and intimidates.
• Pledges to address the violence of white privilege and to create a world in which all are treated with dignity and respect.
WCR COMMUNITY GUIDLINES STATEMENT:
Our goal is to create an environment where everyone feels welcome to participate, express themselves, ask questions, and engage in meaningful conversations. Achieving this requires a harassment-free, inclusive atmosphere that respects the inherent worth of each individual. We encourage all participants to help foster a safe and positive experience for everyone.
To ensure a respectful environment, we kindly request that participants avoid any demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behavior or speech. To respect the privacy and comfort of all attendees, please also refrain from disruptive actions, such as making audio or visual recordings, sharing photos, or straying off-topic during discussions.
We seek to have an open, non-blaming communication, and encourage everyone to use “I statements” to take personal responsibility for sharing their own feelings and thoughts. If at any time someone feels uncomfortable due to another person’s words or actions, they are welcome to express this to the group.
We also ask that all sharing including comments and questions be kept focused on personal experiences related to the current topic.
Thank you for helping us create a supportive and respectful space for everyone!
