Conversations about privilege can quickly go wrong, angry, and defensive. Here are a few things to consider before jumping into the conversation around privilege.
“If we inherit injustice, we should never feel guilty. We are not responsible for that past. However, if we choose to do nothing about it going forward, then we have plenty to feel guilty about.”
Most of us, says Marlon James, are non-racist. While that leaves us with a clear conscience, he argues, it does nothing to help fight injustice in the world
“...What you end up with is an entire moral stance, an entire code for living your life and dealing with all the injustice in the world by not doing a damn thing. That’s the great thing about “non-”: you can put it off by simply rolling over in your bed and going to sleep.
So why are you sitting at home and watching things unfold on TV instead of doing something about it? Because you’re a non-racist, not an anti-racist.”
In 1972, Shirley Chisholm became the first black woman to run for president. Her wit, spirit and charisma reminds all Americans of their power as citizens.
Ways We Can Build A Culture Of Active Response To Injustice:
1. Speak out against any and all injustice, both large and small. Whether you witness an act of interpersonal oppression (e.g. homophobic comments) or you see a trend of institutionalized oppression, try to find ways to illuminate darkness.
2. Share the voices of those committed to exposing injustice. If you are not ready to be as vocal as you wish, highlighting the thoughts and actions of those dedicated to denouncing injustice is a great way to build your own courage.
3. Analyze areas of your organization and life to see where you have remained neutral, in order to decide how you will become active against oppression. I know I rarely, if at all, thought about where I was neutral since it was so ingrained in my every behavior. Thus, you may need to take a close look at where you are quiet and where you have started to express yourself.
4. Agitate for increasing how your organization (and even yourself) encourages an environment of active responses to injustice. Identity how you can provide training, change policies, and lead by example.
We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented
Elie Wiesel
It's no secret that women of color face greater obstacles to equal pay, health care, and voting. Multiple laws that are currently on the books only work to exacerbate those additional barriers. Laws that hurt women of color specifically have found th
“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor" - Desmond Tutu
The average Latina worker would have to work 73 years to make what a white, non-Hispanic man makes in 40 years

The gender pay gap gets even more alarming when race is taken into account, especially for Latina women.
Hispanic or Latina women are paid 89 percent of what Hispanic or Latino men are paid, and only 53 percent of what white men are paid.

This Is What It Would Be Like If Men Were Treated Like Women In The Workplace “That’s a real problem.”

Mexican workers at a Zinc mine call a general strike. It is only through the solidarity of the workers, and importantly the indomitable resolve of their wives, mothers and daughters, that they eventually triumph. "Have you learned nothing from this strike? Why are you afraid to have me at your side? Do you still think you can have dignity only if I have none?"
