Welcome
My name is Mark E. Kirstner and I am the Founder of White Voices Against Racism. This is my WHY...I didn’t know it at the time, but my equity journey began in 1973 as I entered the 7th grade. I lived in Charlotte, North Carolina during the period of school desegregation...
WHO AM I & WHO ARE WE
White Voices Against Racism (WVAR) officially launched on May 25, 2021 with a “Meet the Founder” Facebook live event. On the anniversary of the passing of Mr. George Floyd, we stood in solidarity sharing the organization’s vision & how those in our community could unite in our charge to end racism.
What better way to use my privilege than to work towards ending systemic racism"

Sometimes we just don't know or simply have to be willing to learn / unlearn. Project Educate uses various channels to ensure that information is shared surrounding issues of race. Topics include how to talk to children about racism, understanding systemic racism, economic & voter suppression, mass incarceration, police violence, transportation equity and more.
