Principles of unity

White supremacy has shaped the history, institutions and culture of northern North America (US & Canada).
The present mainstream culture and institutions of northern North America preserve a status of privilege and advantage for white people and impose a status of disadvantage and oppression on people of color.
The racial structure and status quo of northern North America is a white problem. White people created it and it remains in place because of the active and tacit support of white people.
White people have a responsibility and moral imperative to work collectively with one another in alliance with people of color, to transform the racial structure of northern North America from one centered on white values to one centered on multiracial values.

Purpose

The White Anti-racist Community Action Network (WACAN) offers a protected online space where white anti-racists and people of color who support and encourage white anti-racists can assemble, network, share in community, and act to transform our larger society to one that is racially just.

WACAN focuses on the experience of northern North America, comprising the United States and Canada. However, WACAN accepts registrations from any country, and supports discussion of other regions and countries where white people and people of color are struggling to end racism.

In time we hope WACAN will meet the technical, social, and leadership challenges needed to become a large, self-supporting community of a thousand or more members.

WACAN depends on the financial support of its members. Giving is not mandatory, but we periodically hold fund drives. At all times we make available a link to accept donations in support of WACAN. If you are the type of person who makes charitable donations at all, please place WACAN on your list.

WACAN was established in April, 2003. As of August 2006, WACAN has more than 900 members.
