Groundwork
www.groundworknetwork.org
We're a group of white folks in Madison, Wisconsin trying to support communities of color in struggles for racial justice! These are our strategies for doing this work:
-- Support one another in our ongoing education, reflection and action to dismantle White Supremacy
-- Create and sustain accountable relationships with individuals and organizations that prioritize racial justice and are led by people of color
-- Take collective and individual action to dismantle white supremacy within our circles of influence
Self-education as a group about white supremacy and other intersecting systems of power, privilege, and oppression - such as heterosexism, classism/capitalism, the gender binary system, ableism - and ways to work for collective liberation in all these areas! Volunteering with organizations led by communities of color - such as Freedom, Inc. and Voces de la Frontera - and providing support in any way we can, such as fundraising, helping to organize logistics for events, writing op-eds to newspapers about immigrant justice, getting people to show up at actions, etc. Currently, we're planning a multi-week workshop to be aimed at white activists to look at white supremacy and white privilege and ways we can work for racial justice in all the work we do.
Location(s)
Our membership consists of about 10 white people. And we are informally working on building a network of other white folks who want to support racial justice, who can be called on to attend actions, donate money, participate in educational events, etc.
