Community organizations are an antidote to systemic racism | The Delve Podcast (audio only)

We hear a lot about systemic racism. But what does systemic anti-racism look like? This week, we’re talking to an expert about how to build anti-racist public organizations. Alicia Boatswain-Kyte is a social worker and Assistant Professor of Social Work at McGill University. She has published several studies about Black people’s experiences with healthcare, youth services, the justice system, and more. She explains why these institutions often fall short of meeting the needs of Black people. She also challenges us to think differently about how to deliver public services. The secret, as she explains, is to empower communities – and to let go of racial capitalism. Eric Dicaire, Delve’s managing editor, hosts this episode. In this conversation we talk about the Black experience when interfacing with public organizations, why public institutions can be so reluctant to change, and the difference between organizing through community and organizing through capitalism. // MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE The Equity Myth. 2017.
