Allies Against Racism

Oren:

The Allies Against Racism Working Group (AAR), founded in early October 2011, is to properly deal with racism (and other 'isms') witnessed at the GA.

==History==
Allies Against Racism was formed because we found that there was some opposition, in the form of racist viewpoints, to our "Declaration of Solidarity with Indigenous People" proposal that recognized [[Arts/Outreach/Indigenous|Indigenous People's Day and Decolonize Boston]].
==Statement of Work==
It seemed that having a structure in place to properly deal with the racism that we witnessed at the GA was a necessity. We also strongly believe that Occupy/Decolonize Boston must be built upon a foundation that eliminates any possibility of institutionalized racism or any other "ism" or form of oppression.

Working Groups

Oren: adding 'Allies Against Racism' group

'''''ATTN Working Groups: Please update your pages with mailing list and other contact info.'''''
----

'''Working groups''' are teams of people within the Occupation, each focused on a particular area or task. These groups are the organs supporting the body of the Occupation. Within them you will find resources, discussions, and courses of action in every field.

Working groups are '''open''', which means anyone can help out, including you! Like the Occupation as a whole, working groups are run as horizontal democracies, using consensus decision-making and holding publically accessible meetings. To join or volunteer with a working group, see its wiki page for contact information and meeting times.

To join the email list for any of these groups, to get announcements and/or participate in discussion, please go to the [[http://groups.occupyboston.org/ workgroup signup page]].
