Interruption Practice Statement

As part of our continuing commitment to Racial Justice Work, when we experience examples of racial narratives, racism, or whiteness in our meetings, or as we conduct our business, we will address it. This means we can interrupt the meeting and draw the issue to one another’s attention. We will do this kindly, with care and in good faith. Further, as we engage interruptions we will take an intersectional approach, reflecting the fact that white supremacy and racism operate in tandem with interlocking systems of oppression of colonialism, racial capitalism, class, cis-heteropatriarchy, and ableism. This statement is a reminder that we commit to do this in the service of ending the system of racial oppression.
