A Commitment to Dismantle Racism
Over the next two years, OVEC’s new Anti-Racism Transformation Team will be trained to lead Dismantling Racism workshops. The team is part of the Commission on Religion in Appalachia’s commitment to dismantling racism within itself, the groups it funds in the region, and ultimately all of Appalachia.
Understanding racism and privilege as institutions of oppressive and prejudicial power which infect our society at every level is integral to understanding and beginning to overcome social and economic injustice. The team will help OVEC understand and address these issues in depth, which will make our work more effective and sustainable. |
