4 weeks to join the racial justice fight for black women

This clear, actionable guide provides a four-week program for becoming an ally who makes a real difference in the racial justice fight, offering the tools needed to get off to the frontlines of allyship, combat racism while supporting Black women, and become anti-racist instead of passively "not racist."

Introduction -- Part I: Listening and learning. Starting your ally journey: recognizing and unlearning your racism -- Uplift our voices: following the leadership of Black women -- Obstacles mean lessons: finding growth in your discomfort -- Part II: The cost of whiteness. Get out of your head: listening without defensiveness and white tears -- Evening the odds: recognizing how you benefit from white privilege -- How white women betray us: upholding your adjacency to white men supports white supremacy -- Part III: From complicity to action. Words aren't enough: transitioning to real anti-racist work -- Family and Friends: influencing and educating your inner circle -- Don't ignore race: navigating friendships with Black women -- Part IV: Becoming a true ally. No ally theater: avoiding the pitfalls of perfectionism and performative behavior -- Strategically silent: amplifying Black female voices and passing the mic -- Conclusion: Long-term commitment -- A reading group guide: the white allies handbook
