Becoming an Anti-Racist Campus
We have all inherited racism and we are all situated differently in our journey to become anti-racist. This journey includes challenging all structures of oppression that strip humanity, dignity, liberty, and justice from marginalized groups based on race/ethnicity, religion, country of origin, sexual orientation, disability, and power structures that advantages certain groups over others. These living documents and resources have been created to support the journey to becoming an Anti-Racist campus.
The Becoming An Anti-Racist Campus Symposium, hosted on February 1, 2023, was a virtual opportunity to participate in collective learning, and conversations about, UC Berkeley’s path to becoming an Anti-Racist campus.
