Definitions for the Revolution
The following definitions were compiled by COR members, borrowing lists developed by the Challenging White Supremacy Workshop and the Women of Color Resource Center. COR members understood these definitions as unfinished works in progress, but useful starting-points nonetheless. We include, with these definitions, comments in brackets from individuals who were involved with COR. These comments reflect COR’s collective work to refine these definitions, which we hope others will take up.
