Anti-Racism & Solidarity

Racism has been used as this tool for centuries to divide and conquer, to separate ordinary people of different colors, and to keep them from working together to challenge the corporate domination of working people and the planet.

For people racialized as white, having the skills to show up in solidarity with marginalized people is not a given. It takes brave learning and deep reflection on family history, ancestry, and patterns through time to help us know who we are, and how our families came to be white people in the U.S.

And this knowledge alone does not automatically lead to principled actions in solidarity with those who are the current targets of the U.S. empire. Racism is a tool effectively used to break existing and potential bonds of class solidarity.

There are many pathways for white-identified people to collectively heal the erasures, lies and ruptures of white supremacy. It requires radical vision, courage and frameworks that are critical and compassionate.

This page welcomes analysis, reflections and stories of historic and contemporary racial justice organizing efforts and multiracial solidarity movements.
