We Need A Change
Fees and Redistribution
Fees​
To attend a cycle, we request a fee of $350, which will be significantly redistributed to community efforts to amplify Black and brown voices. If you do not have the means to pay for an ew cycle, past participants of ew have graciously donated money to fill spots for two participants and one remains available. Please inquire for details.
​
Redistribution
We recognize the complications of white women earning income in exchange for leading discussions about racism, so Anne and Amanda do not profit from their work in examining whiteness.
We collect a fee in order to hold white group members accountable to their group commitment. We challenge the group to envision how wealth redistribution and reparations could be implemented.
Participants of examining whiteness have redistributed approximately $12,000 as of the end of 2022, in consultation with Dominique Silva.

So far, funds have been used to sponsor:
-
Community-based programs for youth in the arts
-
A family struggling with the adverse impact of US immigration policy
-
Education programs focused on turning youths' interests into livelihoods
-
Household items, such as mattresses, for multi-stressed families

“For Americans, the hardest part of paying reparations would not be the outlay of money. It would be acknowledging that their most cherished myth was not real."- Ta-Nahesi Coates
