191: White Supremacy Teach-in 2
Last year, two-thirds of UU congregations participated in the White Supremacy Teach-In. This year the VUU is back to discuss the second White Supremacy Teach-In with Aisha Ansano, Tracy Breneman, Josh Pawelek, Christina Rivera and Krista Taves. Through public witness, education, and introspection, our faith is coming to understand that fighting white supremacy means both resisting its most blatant forms “out there,” and disrupting its systemic manifestations within. Everyone has to start somewhere, but it takes a commitment to disrupt business as usual.
