Racial Justice

Jessica Nifield

March 12, 2017

Jessica Nifield of “Showing Up for Racial Justice” (http://www.showingupforracialjustice.org/) will show the video “Deconstructing White Privilege with Dr. Robin Di Angelo” (https://vimeo.com/147760743). She will then lead a discussion of her organization, and how doing our work in our own white-identifying communities is what we’ve been tasked with by POC (people of color)-led groups.

Jessica Nifield founded the Santa Cruz Area Chapter of SURJ in 2015 and held its first meeting in October of that year. She holds a J.D. with a concentration in International Law from U.C. Hastings, an M.Ed. from Peabody College (Vanderbilt), and a BA in Literature from U.C. Santa Cruz.
