Anti-Racism

Quick Note

Anti-racism is the active process of identifying and opposing racism by changing systems, organizational structures, policies and practices, and personal attitudes and behaviors that perpetuate racial inequity. It goes beyond simply being "not racist" to actively working to dismantle racist systems and promote racial equity.

Context
