Sign Up for This Week in White Supremacy by EJS
Since November 2017, EJS has been publishing This Week in White Supremacy, a newsletter highlighting news and opinions related to incidents and systems of white supremacy in our country.
"One thing I remembered clearly from history," wrote Eva Paterson, former EJS President, "is that many Germans claimed not to know what was transpiring in their country when millions of Jews, Roma, people with disabilities, gay men, and lesbians were harassed and then murdered. I thought by bringing attention to what is transpiring in our own country, I would help make sure no one could credibly claim ignorance. Hence This Week in White Supremacy."
The Equal Justice Society is transforming the nation’s consciousness on race through law, social science, and the arts. Led by President Lisa Holder, our legal strategy aims to broaden conceptions of present-day discrimination to include unconscious and structural bias by using social science, structural analysis, and real-life experience. Currently, EJS targets its advocacy efforts on school discipline, special education, and the school-to-prison pipeline, race-conscious remedies, and inequities in the criminal justice system. The Oakland, Calif.-based nonprofit also engages the arts and artists in creating work and performances that allow wider audiences to understand social justice issues and struggles.
