Anti-racism refers to beliefs, actions, and practices that challenge and oppose everyday racism. Anti-racist approaches require the recognition of the pervasiveness of racism throughout society, within institutions and in our consciousness in ways we are not always aware of. Being anti-racist requires critical self-reflection and an explicit commitment to countering racism.
