We cannot dismantle what we cannot name, which is why it is essential, as we work to address systemic #AntiBlackRacism, that we clearly define it and its impacts. [THREAD]:
Anti-Black racism is the specific historical, systemic, and pervasive policies and practices that are perpetrated against Black people because of the legacies of slavery and colonialism.
Anti-Black racism is not unique to policing. It occurs in other powerful systems and institutions within our society, including healthcare, education, media, business, and child welfare.
Anti-Black racism has real and long-lasting impacts on the mental and physical health and safety of Black people, from increased stress levels to inequitable access to basic needs like housing and healthcare.
To combat anti-black racism, we must:
1). Disrupt the Status quo - acknowledge & address anti-Black racism
2). Chart a new path - embrace new ways of doing things that create more equitable outcomes
3). Bring others along - encourage & hold others accountable for doing their part
We’re doing our part to address anti-Black racism with Daring To Do, an online learning program that offers practical and actionable strategies for addressing anti-Black racism. Learn more here: kojoinstitute.com/daring-to-do/
