The #MakeItAwkward campaign strives to create everyday activists by encouraging people to confront — respectfully — those who make discriminatory comments, to show them that hate won't be tolerated. This online community serves as a safe place to educate, learn, and dismantle the many oppressive systems set up to disadvantage marginalized people and communities. It is with the help of all of us, we will find a fair and equitable path forward.
What did Jesse do when random strangers began to yell racist remarks at him? Well, he made it awkward.
An expert racism educator, Jesse is the perfect person to help you and your audience build a toolbox to combat racism - at work, school or home.
The game is simple, the implications are complex.
#MakeItAwkward presents Not That Funny, a tabletop game designed to uncover the damaging truths behind every day "jokes" and microaggressions directed at marginalized groups and individuals. We are continuing to challenge people to call out discriminatory language and to become an "everyday activist."
