Why Anti-Racism Action Nuggets?

⦿ These nuggets will help you to make concrete and meaningful changes in your everyday actions to undo the racist systems that surround you.

⦿ You'll get text and/or email “nuggets” (your choice) sent to you over the course of 12 weeks. Once you have a nugget, you can keep it and reference it indefinitely. Think of it as  Anti-Racism in your pocket!

⦿ The series guides you to work in solidarity with a broader community to undo racist systems.

⦿ This nugget series is ideal for white people who are already keenly aware of racism and want to DO something about it.

⦿ It is easy to participate in the series at a level of intensity that makes sense for you and your schedule.


⦿We piloted and refined this over the last two years-and that learning is all reflected in this latest, greatest 2023 version. 




The nuggets are very powerful and yet require so little of your time:
​ just 20 minutes a week!

These Nuggets Do Not...​

⦿  Aim to teach about the roots of racism or how it pervades our lives. 

⦿ Lead you down a path to white saviorism.

⦿ Complete your journey of anti-racism.

TESTIMONIALS

Anti-racism nuggets are exactly what the name implies -- instructive bites that leave you with doable actions for each week. Some weeks I had an “aha” moment, opening a window of revelation.  The nuggets are small but powerful messages that are suitable for one person or a group, easy to digest and can result in tremendous growth. 

​Jackie Shreves, Non-Profit Board Chair and Community Leader (Cohorts 1 and 2)

 ​The  nuggets were a twice-weekly reminder to think about how I live my values to fight racism through my thoughts and actions. Some weeks highlighted information I have experience with, and it was helpful to see new sources and hear the authors' perspectives - then to be reminded midweek to consider actions.

​ Other topics, like the lasting effects of racism on financial stability, were explained in ways that gave me new ideas about how to talk about systemic racism, as well as new ways to focus my own spending.

About Anti-Racism Action Nuggets™

The content for this series came from decades of research on systemic inequity and from the personal experience of Dr. Allison Plyer, an expert in racial disparities and their historical antecedents. The series is designed with Val Uccellani, an internationally-recognized expert in adult learning design and facilitation, who focuses on the use of structured dialogue for deeper learning. Allison and Val were inspired to create this series by the racial reckoning of 2020, and the challenge from people of color that white people should take responsibility for teaching other white people about systemic racism. 

Many NOW, LOVE leaders provided invaluable input into early pilots including Troi Bechet, Christine Jordan, Linda Usdin, Annie LaRock, Julianna Padgett, Tami Fairweather, Meg Logue, and Rachel Pickens.
Thanks to the generous support of the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, your cost for this series has been kept to a minimum. If the cost is a barrier for you, please email us at action@nowlove.info.
