When people imagine a world where things remain as they are right now but without white people at the top and with BIPOC in those roles, those visions are often based in retribution and revenge and not in being able to vision justice without envisioning a system of policing.

When US organizers center Black and/or Indigenous communities in their work to change systems and bring about better policies for those communities, those policies help ALL communities. It is not about role reversals. That is how you can start to imagine a different world.

Anti-racism work is about transforming the way we live. It's about resources being available, merit actually mattering, representation that reflects reality, a thriving eco-system, healing from trauma, systems that take care of people, and life and wholeness for every heart.

As practioners of anti-racism, we MUST start living our values now as we work. We cannot wait for a world where "we've won" to embody what it means to be healed, held by community, honest, and constantly striving to do the right thing even if its the harder thing. Change is here.

If you new to this moment, working to find movement family, &/ wanting to learn, please pay attention to who you take as your teachers & companions in this work. There's some unhealed BIPOC people who publicly thrive in this work because they don't fully transform how to do it.

Pay attention to how your teachers and movement companions relate to others. We are all human. But your leaders should be *trying* to live out transparency, accountability, vulnerability, and showing the same personality to you that they show to the press or powerful people.
