Challenging White Supremacy The Challenging White Supremacy workshops are a well known venue for white activists to explore issues of antiracism as it relates to their activism. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, CWS has a number of core beliefs: "We believe our special responsibility is to help white social justice activists become principled and effective antiracist organizers -- both to challenge our white privilege and to work for racial justice in all our social justice work. " "We think that anti-racist training and organizing with white social justice activists complements and supports grassroots organizing and leadership development in communities of color. Both kinds of work are necessary to help build mass-based, multi-racial social justice movements." CWS organizers believe that "the most effective way to create fundamental social change is through building mass-based, multi-racial social movements, led by radical social justice activists of color. Through experience and study, we have come to the conclusion that the major barrier to creating these mass movements is racism or white supremacy."
