Waking Giants is committed to the dismantling of white supremacy. We are a Queer, women-led company with a diverse staff and team from different religious, ethnic, and social communities. It is through our lived experiences that we come to this work, both through living and knowing the dangers of white supremacy and our continued awareness of our roles in protecting it.

Our Up By The Roots workshop series is designed for white, CIS people to work through their own relationship with white supremacy. This four part series will be led in tandem by Waking Giants Founders, Sera Bonds and Martha Pincoffs, who have over four decades of racial, economic, food, and health justice organizing experience between them.

The series will focus on:

Defining white supremacy

Reviewing the way that white supremacy has defined our systems that govern us in the US

A tactical offering of action items that an individual can take to dismantle white supremacy

A sharing of resources that we can be accessing to continue our self study

This workshop is for white, CIS people who are ready to get to work. This is a safe place to make mistakes, ask questions, and be vulnerable. This is not a place to shame, injure, or intimidate. This is our work to do as white, CIS people and we will go further in this work if we go together, rather than alone. The safety, security, and liberty of people and communities of color depends on us doing this work. If you are ready to center them in your own consideration of your role in white supremacy then we are excited to work with you.
