Statement Against White Supremacy and Racism

We as Wild Maine Witchcamp commit to the lifelong work of dismantling white supremacy and racism within our communities, our traditions, and internalized inside ourselves.

We stand in solidarity with the BIPOC and Mixed Race Reclaiming Convergence, and take seriously the words they have written to the wider Reclaiming community about anti-racism practices.

Please see the Statement to Reclaiming on Anti-racist Practices crafted by the Decolonizing Actions in Reclaiming Communities (DARC) at the BIPOC and Mixed Race Reclaiming Convergence (2019).
