| Surprising poll results hint at who we are | |||||||||
| More than half the respondants to our recent poll say they are members of a white anti-racist group other than WACAN. And more people responded to this poll (76 responses) than to any other WACAN poll in the past. The previous record was 54 responses. Almost 7 out of 10 members either are in a group, or want to start one. Something is happening out there.
