When white organizers navigate leadership in racial justice work

My co-organizer and I are planning a community event about racial justice, but we're white and getting feedback that we should step back and let people of color lead, while also hearing from Black and brown organizers that they're exhausted and want allies to do more work.

More people experience this than they realize.
