CALL TO SUMMIT

The fifth annual gathering of the White Anti-Racist Summit at the White Privilege Conference will bring together white anti-racist activists, organizers, and educators from across the nation. The previous four years of the Summit have yielded significant and rousing dialogue about the state of racism in the United States and the role and responsibility of white people in the fight for racial justice. This year, the summit is designed to support local and regional efforts in mobilizing white people to take an active stand against racism.

The intention of the White Anti-Racist Summit is to support collaboration between white anti-racist groups, in organizing white people across the US and standing allied with people of color in resisting the white supremacist system and all systems of oppression. The summits serve as a resource for building our capacity to organize and mobilize white people in our local communities.
