The inherent rights of the American people are an integral part of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. In a “Woke” generation living in an era requiring a higher level of consciousness and awareness of social and racial justice issues, the United States citizens are basing the legitimacy of the government on its ability to safeguard the natural rights of its citizens. Divided communities seared by tensions, unrest, and civil discord need empowerment, strategies, and steps in place to move the racism needle in our country. More Americans are holding the country accountable for protecting the rights of peaceful people who continue to call for the government to apply the laws equally to everyone. These actions would require a revamp of policies (among other things) which undermine the progress towards dismantling racism, inequality, and exclusion in the nation. A better understanding of the specific, multi-layered, and complex social problems requires a productive dialogue. Join our virtual discussion focusing on how White allies can make it their obligation to be supportive and helpful to the cause for change against racism.
