Calling in the Call Out Culture with Loretta Ross
We are facing a tumultuous future in this country and the subsequent need for caring and healing relationships between adults and young people has never been more important. In order to build a unified and strategic human rights movement that weaves our strengths together, we need to use our differences as a platform for modeling a positive future built on justice and the politics of love, rather than a return to the past based on the politics of fear and prejudice.
How does “calling-out,” or public shaming, advance social justice ideas and lay the groundwork for important discussions? “Calling In the Call Out Culture,” explores alternatives to the call-out ethos featuring feminist and anti-racist scholar-activist Loretta Ross. Ross believes that fighting against oppression and injustice are the dues we pay for the privilege of being conscious and we are honored to be able to challenge it with great responsibility. In our shared commitment to supporting one another – calling people in rather than calling them out, is a prerequisite for building a united movement.
