This blog post is 3 of a 3-part series on the Office of Sustainability’s efforts to be proactively anti-racist, combat white supremacy culture,1 and embed anti-racist actions into our work. The blog series is intended to document and provide transparency about the work we are doing internally and externally and to share our process, begun in 2018 and accelerated in 2020, that is far from complete.
Part 2 of this series describes some of the actions the Office of Sustainability is taking to be actively anti-racist and address white supremacy culture. (For background on why this is inextricably linked with sustainability work, take a look at Part 1.) Perhaps it will be helpful to others if we pull back the curtain a bit on how we’ve been going about discussing this issue, which so many wish to address but that can be very sensitive.
