Together, let’s build a future without racism.
Our Mission
Witnessing Whiteness engages white people to challenge the way racism shows up in ourselves and our world, supports the development of skills for anti-racist action, and holds one another in loving accountability while working toward a future without racism.
What is Witnessing Whiteness?
Witnessing Whiteness groups are where people racially categorized as white come together to uncover and explore the impact of our white racial identity and the operation of racism in our lives and communities.
Using Shelley Tochluk’s book Witnessing Whiteness: The Journey Into Racial Awareness and Anti-Racist Action (3rd Ed.), participants:
confront personal biases;
learn how to interrupt racism;
and practice acting as agents of change.
Our approach is designed to “build knowledge, skills, capacities and communities that support anti-racism practices” (Tochluk).
