DISMANTLING ANTI-BLACK BIAS IN DEMOCRATIC WORKPLACES: A TOOLKIT

Resource provided from AORTA: ANTI-OPPRESSION RESOURCE AND TRAINING ALLIANCE

When we participate in a democratic workplace or collective, we take on the incredible responsibility of shaping an institution — and we therefore have incredible power to resist the harmful cultures, practices, and policies that reinforce anti-Black racism in mainstream institutions. But the persistent messages that we receive about anti-Blackness can just as easily infiltrate our workplaces if we’re not dedicated to building a shared vision for collective liberation that centers Black liberation and self-determination.

Our goal in creating this packet is to equip democratic workplaces with tools to see and address anti-Black racism when it happens, as well as creating systems and practices that undermine anti-Black racism.

It is critical that we both welcome those new to understanding and resisting anti-Black racism, and honor the struggle of those who have been working toward Black liberation for generations
