ANTI-RACISM

• Understanding the multiple ways in which racism and white supremacy affects the lives and experiences of racialized peoples is crucial to the efficacy of an anti-oppressive approach. People of colour, particularly Black and Indigenous peoples, experience marginalization at every level of our local and global systems. UNLRN PRJCT explicitly prioritizes the voices of BIPOC.

• Race is often the least comfortable thing to speak about, particularly in professional contexts--this is exactly why we must talk about it, especially in discussions facilitated by those equipped with the needed historical and sociocultural contextual information.

• Anti-racism is a necessary and vital methodology to incorporate into the making of inclusive spaces, as racism (and attendant white supremacy) comprises the roots of many systemic inequities.

• UNLRN PRJCT takes into account the globalized prevalence of Anti-Blackness across cultures and communities, and incorporates an understanding of its particularities throughout its educational and consulting offerings.

• UNLRN PRJCT understands decolonial approaches to anti-racism to be in best service of racialized peoples. Settler colonialism is a key aspect of white supremacy and the construction of harmful hierarchies that oppress.
