Unconscious Bias Skill Building at Washington & Lee School of Law

In the spring of 2017, three religious educators of color led an unprecedented dialogue across our denomination on how white supremacy was present, even in spaces considered progressive and liberal. Hear from the originators of the Teach In movement and learn how to keep the momentum going.

​

What does it mean to share power?

How do you maintain accountability?

What is efficiency vs effectiveness?

​

​August 11/12 2017 will be one of the before/after markers in the history of Charlottesville and the U.S. I was one of the organizing clergy members on the front line before, during and after the events of A11/12. Our goal was, and is, to be a faithful witness and active resistance in the face of hate and fear of white nationalists and Nazis.

We said what we said

One of the hardest parts of dismantling white supremacy culture? Saying the words "white supremacy" as it relates to your own organization.

​

The UUWhiteSupremacyTeachIn was created by a coalition of religious educators who saw a crisis in our faith communities and did what we always do...found a way to take that moment and use it to go deeper into our faith development.              

​On the heels of the first Trump administration's forced separation of families at the border, Mijente put out a call to clergy organizers. The call was to come to San Diego to stop "Operation Streamline", an illegal and immoral practice that strips immigrants of their right to due process and dignity.

We answered the call and joined hundreds in supporting Mijente's #AbolishICE campaign.
