White Anti-racist Community Action Network

The White Anti-racist Community Action Network (WACAN) offers a protected online space where white anti-racists and people of color who support and encourage white anti-racists can assemble, network, share in community, and act to transform our larger society to one that is racially just.

WACAN focuses on the experience of northern North America, comprising the United States and Canada. However, WACAN accepts registrations from any country, and supports discussion of other regions and countries where white people and people of color are struggling to end racism.

In time we hope WACAN will meet the technical, social, and leadership challenges needed to become a large, self-supporting community of a thousand or more members.

WACAN depends on the financial support of its members. Giving is not mandatory, but we periodically hold fund drives. At all times we make available a link to accept donations in support of WACAN. If you are the type of person who makes charitable donations at all, please place WACAN on your list.

WACAN was established in April, 2003. As of August 2006, WACAN has more than 900 members.

WACAN is an online project of the Center for the Study of White American Culture, Inc.
