On this week's episode the Gals are discussing how they're taking actions and learning about systematic racism and ways that they can be anti-racist. They are sharing their plans and the resources they are learning from.

We want to let our community know that while we might not be sharing as much publicly right now our DMs and inboxes are open and we'd love to hear from you.

"The most effective adaptation of racism over time, is the idea that racism is conscious bias held by mean people. This "good/bad binary," positing a world of evil racists and compassionate non-racists, is itself a racist construct, eliding systemic injustice and imbuing racism with such shattering moral meaning that white people, especially progressives, cannot bear to face their collusion in it." - White Fragility

"Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself." - Rumi
