All Issues
We believe that racism and white supremacist ideology are operative in the US government and society at large. We educate and agitate to raise the consciousness of Massachusetts Peace Action members and the broader society of the relationship between white privilege and structural racism. Our goal is to transform Massachusetts Peace Action, our Greater Boston society, and Massachusetts into an actively anti-racist Commonwealth. Racial Justice and Indigenous Solidarity are Peace Issues Police violence is one overt manifestation of deep ills in our society – a deliberately unfair economic system, a shredded safety net, racism in all our institutions and a government moving ever closer to authoritarianism. The movement is strong but so are the entrenched purveyors of the status quo. We must gird ourselves for the long, hard road ahead. The same militarism and systemic racism that have been turned against our communities of color have been deployed against black and brown populations abroad for decades. We call for an overhaul of our domestic and foreign policies to end police violence at home and war abroad, and to move toward a peaceful and just future. As steps toward these goals, Massachusetts Peace Action calls for: The Racial Justice and Decolonization Working Group meets monthly.
