How can white people learn to talk about and fight racism without re-centering white supremacy? Come prepared to have an honest discussion, led by facilitators from Talking Whiteness in Evanston.
Talking Whiteness is an action group made up of young people from North Shore communities who believe it is white people's responsibility to take action against anti-Black racism in the North Shore. After successful community dialogues in past summers in North Evanston and downtown Wilmette, Talking Whiteness is continuing with virtual conversations and workshops in local communities. Join facilitators from Talking Whiteness to explore how white supremecy shows up in our everyday lives and what we can do about it. We are committed to having an authentic and respectful conversation about challenging topics so please come prepared to have an open and honest discussion.

Registration will close two hours before the program begins and registrants will receive a Zoom link to join shortly thereafter.
