Making Social Change | Finding Your Role - What Fits Me Best?

What Can I Do?

• Educating yourself is important - utilize resources about racial inequality + biases.

• Reject the desire to ask Black folks, Indigenous folks or people of color (BIPOC) to explain racism for you. Instead, find resources created by BIPOC to help educate yourself, or offer to financially compensate BIPOC folks who are educating you!

• Do not let guilt (white guilt) or shame stop you from doing anti-racist work. Find a way to do the work of anti-racism. Some examples might include attending a training, joining an allies group, participating in a protest. Keep working to grow—instead of settling into shame, ask folks how you can grow.

• Remember that moving forward is important. It might be helpful to revisit resources to help remind you of why this work is important.

• Continue to find a way to participate. Some examples might include attending a training, joining an allies group, participating in a protest. Keep working to grow, instead of settling into shame.

• Begin having difficult conversations with (white) friends + family about racism + inequality.

• Begin to think about how you might use your privilege to support anti-racist work.
