White Advocates for Racial and Social Justice

White Advocates for Racial and Social Justice

White Advocates for Racial and Social Justice aims to empower and educate white individuals committed to dismantling systemic racism and advocating for social justice. Our mission is to foster understanding, accountability, and action within our communities, recognizing the privileges and responsibilities that come with being socialized as white. In alignment with LWTech’s Core Values, we strive to:

• Learn and Reflect: We promote self-awareness and learning about the impacts of whiteness and white supremacy by facilitating ongoing reflection on how our socialization as white individuals influences our perceptions, behaviors, and interactions.
• Dismantling White Supremacy: We actively work to dismantle white supremacy by challenging racist structures and systems, engage in personal and collective actions that seek to address and eliminate racial inequalities.
• Engage in Conversation: We create brave spaces for white individuals to engage in challenging conversations about race, privilege, and bias by encouraging dialogue that is honest, compassionate, and aimed at fostering growth and understanding.
• Advocacy and Allyship: We support and stand in solidarity with BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities by taking meaningful actions to be effective advocates and allies, using our voices, resources, and influence to promote equity and justice for all persons in these oppressed communities.
• Build Community: We develop a sense of community and mutual support among members committed to anti-racism and social justice by encouraging collaboration and collective action that amplifies our impact and drives meaningful change.

Through continuous learning, reflection, and action, White Advocates for Racial and Social Justice aims to contribute to a more equitable and just society, where all individuals are valued and empowered. Together, we can create lasting change and move towards a future free from racial and social oppression.
