, hung signs in your windows. But there’s a pit in your stomach about the thing you know you need to do but have been avoiding. If you’re a white person who wants to help end racism, anti-Blackness, and police violence, there’s a good chance that there’s an essential action that you’re not taking, usually out of fear.
To be clear, calling your family won’t end police violence in itself. Having these conversations with the white people in our lives is just one part of a long-term strategy to combat and dismantle anti-Blackness, not an instant solution to anything. But it’s a critical component of eroding white people’s support for the institutions and practices that limit the freedom and take the lives of Black people in the U.S. and beyond.
And the truth is, we’ve got a short window to act. Many white people are invested in a conversation about race, racism, and white supremacy in ways they’ve never been before. Even the most recalcitrant, racist family friends are currently revisiting their own beliefs and practices, wondering what to do next. So for those of us with family members to move forward, or with supportive family members to move to action: We’ve got work to do.
