Cross Cultural Solidarity - https://crossculturalsolidarity.com/

CrossCulturalSolidarity.com aims to become a one-stop site for people to plug into the wide universe of racial justice history. As of August 2022, there are resources on over 150 racial justice history topics… and a fundraising campaign has been launched to build hundreds more over the next few years.

Cross Cultural Solidarity is especially committed to strengthening bonds of multiracial solidarity. Achieving racial equity and building a strong, robust democracy requires us all to unite, as Black, Brown, and White. Our ability to work together and stand up for each other is strengthened when we have access to inspiring examples of solidarity: thus, the first two categories on the main landing page are Black/Brown Solidarity and White Antiracism.

A Great Site - and its creator Lynn - a wonderful Friend and Ally (gm)!

#WPC27  April  22-25, 2026   "Seattle" -Note:  Is actually at the DoubleTree Seattle Airport - 

https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/ctac-dt-doubletree-seattle-airport/?SEO_id=GMB-AMER-DT-CTACDT&y_source=1_MTM3Mjc4Ni03MTUtbG9jYXRpb24ud2Vic2l0ZQ%3D%3D 

https://www.theprivilegeinstitute.com/wpc27

Join us in Seattle, Washington, for the 27th WPC on April 22-25, 2026! Open to everyone, the conference brings together high school and college students, K-12 teachers, university faculty, social workers, counselors, non-profit staff, activists, healthcare workers, and members of spiritual, community, and corporate arenas.

With such diverse perspectives, WPC provides an opportunity for participants to discuss how white privilege, white supremacy, and oppression affect daily life, while giving strategies to address issues of privilege and oppression, and advance social and economic justice. We would love to have you be part of the WPC community. Join us.

NOTE:   Wednesday the 22nd - will be all day Institutes - primarily for "professionals" - such as educators - with specific Foci - (and one pays additionally for them).  If one is a "regular attendee" - if one wishes to solely be at the Conference - one would want to be present - Thursday, the 23rd in the morning through around 5-7 pm on Saturday, the 25th.   The location is literally walkable 1/2 mile or so from the SeaTac Airport - and at the Airport - there is Light Rail one can take into Seattle itself.    I would also note that - this Conference - unlike #25 and #26 - which I attended - will take place entirely within the Doubletree Hotel including its Conference Facilities - which will make Networking/Connecting quite easy - if one can stay in the hotel.   If it is like #25/#26 - there will be a Conference Room rate - where one can either get a King Sized Bed or two smaller beds - so sharing a room - with a friend - is possible to split the room rate.   Much of what I've said - such as the exact location - I've gotten from the Founder/Leader - directly - It is Not on the Privilege Institute's Website yet.

Reckon With - https://www.reckonwith.org/

Acknowledge and Repair Racial Harm: Reckon With supports "white people" to acknowledge and repair racial harm in themselves, their families, and institutions they're part of

Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) - https://surj.org/

Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) is a national organization that brings hundreds of thousands of white people into fights for racial and economic justice.

For too long, the Right has hoarded wealth and power by using strategic racism to convince white people that we have more in common with billionaires and corporate elites than with the people of color in our communities. At SURJ, we bring our folks in by offering a better alternative: a just, vibrant future where people of all races work together to win what we need. We do this work by building people power in multi-racial communities across our network — through campaigns, 200 chapters across the country, and deep local organizing projects.

NOTE:  AWARE-LA - listed above in part is the Los Angeles Chapter of SURJ.   AWARE-LA is undoubtedly the strongest chapter of SURJ - which is the largest/strongest white Anti-Racism Group in the U.S.   AWARE-LA - https://www.awarela.org/ - has an incredible website - listing a lot of valuable resources

White Men for Racial Justice (WMRJ) - https://www.wmrj.org/

Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color often say they are tired of explaining to White people how race shows up in our everyday lives. Some describe it as painful to listen to White people suddenly 'discover' truths hidden in plain sight. This is especially true in their experience with White men, who hold disproportionate power, and are least present and skillful in 'the work.'
‍
WMRJ is a response to explicit requests to 'go get our people.'

REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE

Men 4 Choice - https://www.men4choice.org/

All people deserve the right to self-determination and full control over their bodies, healthcare, and reproductive decisions. Without that right, no person can truly be free. Today, too many men sit passively on the sidelines in the fight for reproductive freedom.

Men4Choice exists to activate, educate, and mobilize male allies into the fight as active partners and allies.

Following the overturning of Roe v. Wade in the summer of 2022, we saw an all-out assault on reproductive freedom across the country. Overturning Roe was just the first step in our opposition’s plan to ban and criminalize abortion across the country. While many of us have known and have been preparing for this for a long time, that reality came into sharp focus for many in 2023. Laws banning and criminalizing abortion passed in more than a dozen states and these laws were overwhelmingly passed by male elected officials, who cast more than 80% of the votes across the country to ban abortion.

Men for Equity and Reproductive Justice (MERJ) - https://joinmerj.org/

It is time for men to get into the arena!  Moving past guilt and shame, we invite men, regardless of race, ability, sexual orientation, class or age to join our efforts to support womxn - and BIPOC - led reproductive health and abortion rights organizations.

It is time for men to ACT!  We invite you to reflect on your capacity to support this movement.  Whether you can give your time, financial support, or energy, or all three, we welcome you!

(NOTE: - GM - I pushed for the formation of MERJ, co-founded it, and am a co-facilitator of it.)
