Brilliant Bits from Boston: Undoing Intersectional White Supremacy

Kimberlé Crenshaw

This month’s Brilliant Bit is also our Dismantling White Supremacy resource of the month.

Every two years member congregations of the UUA select a Congregational Study/Action Issue (CSAI) for four years of study, reflection and action. Delegates at the 2018 General Assembly in Kansas City, MO, selected "Undoing Intersectional White Supremacy" to be the 2018-2021 CSAI of the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations.

The Congregational Study/Action Issue is an invitation for congregations to take a topic of concern and engage it, reflect on it, learn about it, respond to it, comment on it, and take action—each in their own way. A CSAI is NOT a statement—it is a question.

The UUA’s Commission on Social Witness, which facilitates this process, intends to create a learning and acting community among UUs and our partners to understand intersectional theory and to engage in intersectional movement building.
