Disengaging from the White Savior Complex

117 people are interested in this workshop

Mainstream bicycle culture appeals to wealthy white folks, particularly white men. that's no different within all of cycling subcultures, including community bike projects. This is old news. What are true and authentic ways that we can build equity and autonomy within the communities we participate in?

Diversity is complex. It requires us to take a hard look at ourselves, the community projects we participate in, the communities we are "helping", our implicit bias, our privilege, and where we fit in this fight for equity. Let's have a conversation about systemic oppression, diversity, equity, and how these topics relate to community bike spaces.
