Sharon Racial Equity Alliance Details
Our History As in our larger society, members of the Sharon Community who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) experience both systemic and episodic racism. In April 2019, Black Sharon High School students and Black residents of Sharon shared their personal experiences of marginalization, othering, and racism in a publicly broadcasted school committee meeting. The Sharon Racial Equity Alliance (SREA) was founded in response to these instances of racism and with a focus on leading active anti-racism work within the Sharon community. SREA intentionally uses the term BIPOC to recognize that all communities of color experience racism and that Black and Indigenous people experience unique and insidious forms of violence and marginalization due to the histories of colonization, slavery, and White supremacy in this country. Because of the intentional, ongoing, and incessant attack on Black lives in this country, the particular ways in which racism is experienced and propagated in Massachusetts, and the current experiences of racism by Black members of the Sharon community, SREA believes it is important to focus on centering the issues faced by the Black community in Sharon, while also understanding and addressing racism experienced by all communities of color. SREA recognizes that individuals hold multiple identities and experience the inseparable intersections of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, ableism, antisemitism, and Islamophobia, and other forms of oppression. SREA is committed to ongoing self-education and local, collaborative education and advocacy so that Sharon can become a more equitable and just town. As such, SREA will work to identify, examine, and challenge interpersonal, institutional, and ideological racism in Sharon.
