From Talk to Action: An Online Community Response to Racial Profiling
How can online dialogue on controversial issues of race and ethnicity strengthen local coalitions and promote action to address a specific issue?
NABRE has just released a booklet concerning racial profiling and how to make creative use of online dialogue to foster improved race relations and civic empowerment. We hope this booklet, from Talk to Action, proves useful to others using online dialogue to stimulate action and/or engaged in the battle to combat racial profiling. The booklet has a dual purpose: First, it is intended as a guide to community leaders who wish to foster dialogue, bolster action and awareness, and create positive solutions in their communities to address racial profiling. Second, the booklet is intended as a summary of a unique effort to demonstrate how online communications can be used to foster civic empowerment. By linking people who otherwise might not come in contact with each other, the technology can help to break down barriers to communication and interaction and thus both debunk negative stereotypes that continue to plague us and generate cooperative efforts to bridge racial and ethnic divisions.
