Special Note for White Parents/Caregivers
Alongside the PCA CARES/DEI programming for this year, a White affinity group will meet monthly for GSFS parents/caregivers who identify as White/are of European descent or those who benefit from white skin privilege. The goal is to offer space to do the deeper personal work of undoing internalized racism in service of teaching ourselves and our children to be more anti-racist and offer the GSFS community truer White allyship. White affinity group space invites self-study work in service of undoing White supremacy without putting labor or further harm onto BIPOC community (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color).
