DISMANTLING RACISM

Tax deductible
Welcome to our Crowdfunding Campaign!

Who we are
The Sum is a non-profit organization that has been  facilitating diversity workshops since its inception in 2006. Our vision is a world where no one stands alone.  Our mission is to unleash the power of our differences: race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, ability, ethnicity, and socio-economic class.

What we're here to do
In response to the stories, concerns, patterns, struggles, and confusion we have seen in our workshops over the years, we have distilled our work around race and racism into a 40 hour web-course--designed for white people--entitled “Dismantling Racism from the Inside Out.”    This course will be will automatically individualized by our educational software to provide a series of supportive learning modules to address participant's unique needs and interests.   And we will make it accessible to everyone on a sliding scale! For curriculum details see details at The Sum.
