Challenge Campaigns That Target People of Color

We challenge social/political movements that involve targeting People of Color.  We believe the focus of resistance movements should be fighting at the institutional and systemic levels, rather than targeting individuals, which simply recreates the oppressor/oppressed dynamic. Further, because of the false and misleading stories that fuel the internet, we follow the example of Zoe Quinn: we reject strategies such as hacking, online stalking or doxing tactics. We also reject deliberate intimidation and harassment in real life, as these are some of the very same activities we aim to interrupt and end. Instead, we will surface instances of racial bias and racial profiling and will follow the practice of “calling in” as opposed to “calling out.”

Peaceful nonviolence resistance doesn’t leave anyone wounded in its wake, it takes the moral high ground and leads the way to the moral high ground.  We also follow the example of Martin Luther King Jr. who stated:

“Love is creative, understanding goodwill for all men. 
It is the refusal to defeat any individual. 
When you rise to the level of love, of its great beauty and power,
 you seek only to defeat evil SYSTEMS.

Individuals who happen to be caught up in that system, you love,

but you seek to defeat the SYSTEM."
