In just the first month in power, the Trump administration is wreaking havoc on the social safety net so many working people rely on, threatening Medicaid, federal housing, food stamps and more. How did we get to the point where millions of Americans– especially white Americans– support slashing public services that benefit nearly all of us?
One important answer: strategic racism aimed at white communities. And one important solution: we must continue to urgently organize white people around their shared interest in building a government that works for all of us.
Join us to go deeper tomorrow night at 5 pm PT/8 pm ET at our webinar “Racism: why we can’t have nice things,” with author and movement leader, Dr. Robin DG Kelley. We’ll hear about how a strategy of racism over decades got us to this point– and how we fight back.
Can’t make it? Register for the event and we’ll send you a recording in a few days.
This webinar is the first in the series we launched last week, “Protect and Resist: actions and training for white people in the first 100 days” where on Wednesdays through the rest of the first 100 days, we’ll gather together for educational webinars like this one and action hours to put the learning to work. Sign up for the whole series here.
