Where Do I Start?


Scrabble tiles


If you've found this page, you've also found lists of resources and actions. There is so much. Where do I start? How can I possibly make a difference? I know it matters but...

So, pause, breathe, go within and listen for what is yours to do. That's always where we start. Each of us chooses our path. 

I invite everyone to listen for what is yours to do. Here are two websites that have resources that may help you choose:  
You'll find lots of ideas gathered from people in our Center community in the blog post just before this one. You can also find resources sorted by format (book, video, etc.) by clicking under Links for You "Antiracist Resource List" on this page.

Much of the dismantling of racism must be done by those who have consciously or unconsciously learned and benefited from the system. If you are someone who has white privilege, consider joining an important exploration based on Layla Saad's book Me and White Supremacy. There are two groups starting in August:
  • Two CSL-wide groups:
    • Practitioners Book Study: Monday Evenings, 5 to 6:30 pm Pacific beginning Aug 3rd and ending Aug. 31, 2020.  Practitioner Registration

      Members and Friends Book Study (non-minister or practitioner): Tuesday Evenings, August 4 to September 1, 5 to 6:30 pm.  Community Registration

  • Book study at our Center, Wednesdays, August 5 through September 9, Noon to 1 pm.  Please register in advance for this free event.

Last and certainly not least, come to the monthly conversation with the Being and Belonging Discussion Group -- it is on the second Sunday of every month, 1:30 to 3 pm, on Zoom. Email talkaboutdiversity@gmail.com for more information.

Some Thoughts on this Work from Practitioner Krista McAtee

Photo by Harry Grout, Unplash.com As a white woman, I am noticing how my language is shifting on an almost-daily basis! Our evolution is happening quickly. That said, I won’t be quiet for fear of being clumsy with my words. I make mistakes. But if I say something awkward or inept, I own it, apologize, and move on, learning from my misstep. My intention is to support inclusion for everyone. I often remind myself of these truths that have so long lain dormant: There is no such thing as "not racist."  We can be or act in racist OR anti-racist ways. If we are claiming "not racist," it is because we  likely have  not named and deconstructed the ways we have been conditioned in white supremacy. White folks are the ones who need to do the work of dismantling white supremacy . It is ours to do. We need to lean on other white people in our learning, grieving, discomfort, guilt, shame, advocacy— not  on BIPOC (Black, indigenous, and people of color). It is not their job to fo

A Radical Friendship - A Play by Jane Marla Robbins, Saturday, February 19, 7 pm

Image
  In her outstanding two-person play, “A Radical Friendship,” Jane Marla Robbins envisions an ongoing conversation between spiritual leaders Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel taking place between 1963 and 1972. In the historically accurate interchanges, Dr. King refers to the rabbi as “Father Abraham” and “my Rabbi.” The Shomrei Torah Cultural Committee brings this production to Sonoma County in honor of Black History Month. The play was last seen starring Ed Asner in Southern California. We are fortunate that the Raven Performing Arts Theater’s Artistic Director Steven David Martin will be directing the play with two talented local actors to portray these historic heroes. Saturday, February 19, at 7 pm. For more information and to register to attend this event on Zoom free of charge, go to  https://www.cstsr.org/event/a-radical-friendship.html

Powerful Summer Reading - You Are Your Best Thing, edited by Tarana Burke and Brene Brown

Image
This book is written to give voice to the experiences of Black people. Too often, they may be only be seen at those who are impacted most directly by racism. That is a part of their identity, and they also live lives of blessing and strength and challenge. This book is a collection of essays from writers, artists, educators, activists and others. They speak in the first person, in Tarana Burke's words, to "give our humanity breathing room." You Are Your Best Thing: Vulnerability, Shame Resilience, and the Black Experience , edited by Tarana Burke and Brene Brown. From the introduction by the editors: Brene: I kept thinking about bell hook's concept of lovelessness and how she talks about lovelessness as the root of white supremacy and the patriarchy and all forms of oppression. And that the answer to lovelessness is love. I've read bell hooks for thirty years, but these essays and the process of co-creating with you taught me what love in the face of lovelessness
