All I Want for Christmas is 3.5%

The work of creating a multiracial democracy – a democracy where power is truly shared, and equity is real – can feel overwhelming, depressing, futile even. But what if the tipping point for creating lasting change is only 3.5%? Dr. Chenoweth (Harvard University) found that no civil resistance campaign across the globe over the last century “failed after they had achieved the active and sustained participation of just 3.5% of the population.”Now we are at a unique historical moment to harness changing mindsets, to build a 3.5% of actively engaged white and/or privileged parents practicing antiracist integration.Join our Patreon to support this work, and connect with us and other listeners to discuss these issues even further.LINKS:Dr. Erica Chenoweth Ted TalkOur Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/integratedschoolsDr. Kfir Mordechay on gentrificationMatt Gonzales – “White Lips to White Ears”Dr. Elizabeth McCrae on the Mother’s of Massive ResistanceProfessor Michelle Adams on Milliken v Bradley and the hope for a multi-racial democracyJoin our Patreon to support this work, and connect with us and other listeners to discuss these issues even further.Let us know what you think of this episode, suggest future topics, or share your story with us – @integratedschls on twitter, IntegratedSchools on Facebook, or email us [email protected] Integrated Schools Podcast was created by Courtney Mykytyn and Andrew Lefkowits.This episode was produced by Andrew Lefkowits and Courtney Mykytyn. It was edited, and mixed by Andrew Lefkowits.Music by Kevin Casey.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
