Naming Racism: A Reading and Discussion Group (meeting #1)

“What’s the problem with being “not racist”? It is a claim that signifies neutrality: “I am not a racist, but neither am I aggressively against racism.” But there is no neutrality in the racism struggle. The opposite of “racist” isn’t “not racist.” It is “antiracist.” ― Ibram X. Kendi, How to Be an Antiracist*

This reading group was created so that we have a safe space to learn, to reflect and to act. We encourage you to join us in our growth and be part of our collective learning.  Together, we can push each other to be part of a larger, more global, solution. 

Please contact events@messageparis.org if you have questions, suggestions or want to tell us your thoughts!

We had a our first pre-meeting in July (introductions) and our first meeting will be in September. Once you sign-up we will send you the readings for the first meeting.
