DIY Organizing Kit & Accountability Plan
DO IT YOURSELF ORGANIZING KIT
Organizing a group is one of the best and most effective things we can do as anti-racist white folks. Everyone is encouraged to start or join one as we are able. Anti-racist affinity groups provide numerous benefits by exponentially increasing our effectiveness and impact; we all tend to follow through more when we have others that we are accountable to- more hands make lighter work. And social justice work is by definition collective work. With a group you will have a community of people that can support each other in continual anti-racist learning. It will have the capacity to do far more, as well as bring more folks into anti-racism as you go. Organizing ourselves in this way is also how we can be most helpful as allies to BIPOC social justice leaders: 10 groups of 10 that are already organized are far more effective than 500 individuals.
Let’s Go Get Our White People, and Get Organized!
