ANTI-RACIST
What this is can be a matter of a lot of discussion. If you affirm the WACAN statement of beliefs, then you are invited to join that discussion.
WACAN STATEMENT OF BELIEFS
- White supremacy has shaped the history, institutions and culture of northern North America (US & Canada).
- The present mainstream culture and institutions of northern North America preserve a status of privilege and advantage for white people and impose a status of disadvantage and oppression on people of color.
- The racial structure and status quo of northern North America is a white problem. White people created it and it remains in place because of the active and tacit support of white people.
- White people have a responsibility and moral imperative to work collectively with one another in alliance with people of color, to transform the racial structure of northern North America from one centered on white values to one centered on multiracial values.
