By naming these White activists and organizations, we hope to show that for as long as there has been racial oppression, particularly in the United States, there have been White people who have stood in solidarity with People of Color By highlighting these White activists, we hope to expand the understanding of how White people can work toward racial justice in proactive and productive ways.
People of Color have always worked to end racism. The following people and organizations are White antiracist/anti-oppression activists who questioned, resisted, and interrupted racist systems. More accurately, this group is also referred to as “people of the global majority.” The goal of this activism is to challenge the racist status quo to bring about social change, healing, and liberation for non-White identified communities.
The term “People of Color” includes Native, Black/African American, Latinx, Asian American/Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern, and Multiracial people. Racism advantages White people and disadvantages People of Color via inequitable systems of institutional power, authority, and violence. What we mean by “White antiracist activist”:Īntiracism for White people is a process of recognizing the impact of race as a system of oppression and engaging in practices, behaviors, and ways of being that disrupt racial discrimination.
