FIGHT(!) prejudice

GET INVOLVED

<3[FIGHT(!)Pre-Judice] is a multi-faceted social justice organization that opposes all forms of prejudice, including racism, sexism, classism, heteronormativity, lookism, xenephobia, and general ignorance.

Our three strategies are:

1. to educate on issues confronting marginalized people and train activists and allies;

2. to organize against prejudice both online and in communities;

3. to bring impact litigation to make the law more just (eventually).

Anonymous asked: I am doing a project against prejudice. It will have myth busters and it will contain every argument I can think of to convince people that prejudice is wrong. Have you got any advice for me?

We’d love to help! Email shawn@FIGHTprejudice.org with any specific questions you may have.

In general, perhaps one of the most important anti-prejudice points to make is that our law and our society (and therefore members of our society, whether they know it or not) treats groups of people differently for no good reason. It is easy for members of privileged groups to think that racism, sexism, and other prejudices are things of the past because members of privileged groups don’t experience those prejudices every day.

Therefore, if we’re going to FIGHTprejudice, we have to start by trying as hard as we can to see things from others’ points of view, understanding that others have had different experiences. Put another way, ”Being unprejudiced” is not our natural state because of the skewed values inculcated in us by media, popular culture, our leaders, etc. ”Being unprejudiced” is a constant struggle that we all must deal with and work at.
