The best first step for those who wish to address racism yet do not necessarily know where to start is arming themselves with an understanding of how racial oppression:

– Was socially constructed,
– Has been used to subjugate various groups of people,
– Shows up today in the many ways we structure our systems and society; and
– Intersects with other discriminatory structures like misogyny, homophobia, ableism and others but lumping them together doesn’t lead to concrete actions to address the roots of systemic racism.

In a nutshell, an anti-racism approach requires organizations to look inward to acknowledge racial bias that shows up within their policies and culture – and how they can look into their existing priorities/strategies to explore how they can address the root causes of systemic racism support victims – before they can effectively look outward and scrutinize racial bias within other parts of the system.
