Many people have taken the original White Supremacy Culture article and done very creative and brilliant things with it, creating zines, adapting it for particular fields, making card decks, illustrating it, and so much more. On this page, you will find links to all the different adaptations of the article that have come to my attention. If you know of others that are not offered here, please let me know. And a big big thank you to everyone who has moved this work forward and outward.

Spark Decks has formatted a deck of Practices for Dismantling Racism cards. The deck offers 52 micro-practices based on the White Supremacy Culture article. Each card outlines an antidote or agreement that users can hold to combat the characteristics. The cards can be used as conversation starters, strategic planning process elements, or for other organizational/community activities. If you use the code "AtCostDiscount" at checkout, they tell me that you will receive the deck at 75% off the list price.
(PS: I don't make and don't want to make any money off of this project; the cost basically covers the costs of production.) |
The Billions Institute has created an Unspeakable Deck that offers cards with an organizational norm on one side and an antidote on the other. These can be ordered by email. |
