Antiracism for White Men
Purpose
A five-part series to look at the intersection between race and gender for white men who want to improve their antiracist skills. Facilitated by a white male, this affinity group space will focus on how white men can work together to challenge racism. We will also consider how our masculinity intersects with our white identity. Participants should come ready to learn, grow, and support each other as we work to create a more racially just community.
