Send us a message via text message! Link accessible at joyousjustice.buzzsprout.com. ✅Way back in episode 2, April and Tracie spoke about better alternatives to some of the micro-aggressive things white-identified Jews often say to Jews of Color. So what happens if you overhear someone else trot out a micro-aggressive question or comment? What can you do? What should you do? How can you interrupt the oppression without falling into saviorism? April and Tracie dig in to this question and offer some strategies for both disrupting the oppression and supporting the person on the receiving end of it. Find April and Tracie's full bios and submit topic suggestions for the show at www.JewsTalkRacialJustice.comLearn more about Joyous Justice where April is the founding and fabulous (!) director, and Tracie is a senior partner.: https://joyousjustice.com/Read more of Tracie's thoughts at her blog, bmoreincremental.comAdditional resources:You can read more about what not to say to a Jew of Color in this Kveller article.
