Description

The work of creating a multiracial democracy - a democracy where power is truly shared, and equity is real - can feel overwhelming, depressing, futile even. But what if the tipping point for creating lasting change is only 3.5%?  Dr. Chenoweth (Harvard University) found that no civil resistance campaign across the globe over the last century “failed after they had achieved the active and sustained participation of just 3.5% of the population.” 
Now we are at a unique historical moment to harness changing mindsets, to build a 3.5% of actively engaged white and/or privileged parents practicing antiracist integration.
