Online Course – Anti-Racism 101: Required Skills for White People Who Want to be Allies

Note: This resource is from the United Methodist General Commission on Religion and Race at: https://gcorr.teachable.com/p/antiracism101

Please send us resources from your faith tradition so we can share them across denominations. Each of us must do our part to dismantle over 400 years of entrenched and systemic discrimination and racism, especially those of us who are part of the dominant culture.  We can learn from each others’ traditions and accomplish more together.

This online course centers on one big idea: that anti-racism is anything that actually interrupts and dismantles racism. As a 101 course, the content will focus on defining anti-racism, identifying anti-racism, and practicing anti-racism by interrupting racism. The three sessions will roughly fall under these categories: theory (big idea), practice [working with the big idea), and personal (implementing the big idea).
By taking this course, students will:

1. Learn how to explain anti-racism to your church siblings or family
2. Build your skills in interrupting racism in real-time
3. Practice becoming stronger against white fragility – overcome the temptation to give up when the realities of racism become intense
4. Create a foundational toolbox to interrupt and dismantle racism that will ground any other anti-racism work you do

Anti-Racism 101 is a self-directed course designed for you to take the course at your own pace.
