| 0:00.0 | So if you want to know what an individual can do to pursue racial justice, there's actually a whole book about it, how to fight racism, but here's a |
| 0:15.2 | place to start. One of the things I say in the book is racial justice requires scheduling. |
| 0:22.3 | Put it on your calendar. |
| 0:24.0 | If you want to attend a march, if you want to attend a rally, if you want to pass out flyers, if you want to register for something, |
| 0:29.0 | that's all going to take time. |
| 0:31.0 | And what you put on the calendar in some sense indicates your |
| 0:34.2 | priorities but I'll get even more practical than that. Block out 30 to 45 minutes |
| 0:40.4 | to just brainstorm, to just dream. How would you like to get involved in |
| 0:46.0 | racial justice? What are the kinds of actions you would like to take? What are you |
| 0:50.0 | concerned about in particular when it comes to racial justice. Write all of that down. |
| 0:55.5 | Make it fun, make it meditative, go for a walk and do a voice memo or sit outside and write in a |
| 1:00.6 | journal, but just start with this prophetic imagination. |
| 1:05.0 | Then your next calendar appointment, you can whittle that list down, |
| 1:10.0 | you can prioritize those actions that you dreamt of and then that third meeting |
| 1:14.8 | that you schedule with yourself you can actually implement something that you |
| 1:19.0 | thought about so first of all make time for racial justice. |
