In this gathering, birthed from the multiracial Decolonize Race Project, we aim to bring together a group of around 20 white-identified individuals to do a deep-dive into the roots of colonization among our peoples, and what is needed to heal and transform patterns of harm and imagine a future of thriving. Together we will explore nuanced, stretchy and risky questions and practicing deepening our capacity for relationship - with ourselves, with each other, and with this work.

Examining the stories we hold is an essential practice for white people. The stories we hold about ourselves and others can be a tool in service of white supremacy, or they can be a powerful force for exposing the myths of white superiority and breaking allegiance to whiteness.

Hosted by Civil Bikes Atlanta, join Roan Coughtry and Jen Willsea for this lunch hour. It will be an opportunity for white folks to deepen our understanding of the antiracism work that is ours to do, and to receive guidance in how to sustain ourselves on a lifelong antiracism journey.
Join us for a conversation focused on white folks living in the South, and open to people of all races and places. We’ll explore: What does internalized whiteness mean to each of us, given our experiences in Atlanta and the South? What are some new ways of being we can cultivate that do not play into white superiority and whiteness? how can we leverage this “portal” as Arundhati Roy describes it, between a past we do not wish to return to and a future we cannot yet see?
