Letting Go -- Alison's Last Episode

Special Episode: Israel, Palestine and Racial Justice
Esplicito
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is polarizing white people around the world. How can we understand this issue from a racial justice perspective? How can we break through the moral fog of this issue in order to act from a place of clarity?
Whose Lane Is It Anyway?
Esplicito
Alison and Tamir break down roles white people are being asked to play in antiracism work, plus discussion of allyship in relation to conflict in Israel and Palestine.
Stagione 1
Giving Up Power
Esplicito
Leaders of color have been calling on white people to give up power for decades if not centuries. What kinds of power do white people have that we shouldn’t, and what does it look like to let that go?
Money Part II: Wrap-up
Esplicito
Today, we’re wrapping up our discussion of money by exploring how we can move money without falling into white-dominant modes of power, and then sharing thoughts on where listeners might go from here. Give it a listen, then join us for our next episode on giving away power.
Money And Power , Part I
Esplicito
In this episode, Alison and Tamir unpack calls for white people to cede money and power in order to advance racial justice. In Part I, we focus on money. Stay tuned for Part II!
Harm Part II: More Big Questions
Esplicito
Following on our last episode, Alison and Tamir unpack some nuanced questions related to harm in a racial justice context: What should we do when we cause harm? When is repair appropriate and what happens when it isn’t? What happens when a person of color says you’ve harmed them and you’re not sure you agree? Can white people be harmed in a racial justice context? If you’re looking to stop causing harm, what should you be looking to do instead?
Harm
Esplicito
A lot of white folks struggle to understand how we harm people of color, and how to avoid causing harm without shrinking out of the work altogether. In this episode, we start to unpack these and related questions.
Taking Up Space Part II: Showing Up Small
Esplicito
So much of the time, white folks take up too much space in racial justice work. But is it possible to show up so small that it also undermines the work? Alison and Tamir explore this question in part two of our series on taking up space.
Taking Up Space Part 1: Stepping Back
Esplicito
How can white people step back and make more space for people of color to lead movements for justice? What are the ways we can take up too much space, and what are some healthy ways for us to check those? In part 2 (forthcoming), we'll explore the ways white people can take up too little space and the impact that can have on justice work.
