“The circles helped me to learn how to be part of a larger movement and feel less helpless.” -Toni T.

“The 12 week ASDIC circle experience was powerful and moving beyond my expectations. It has made the words ‘I'm Not Racist’ stick in my throat. Learning about the insidious nature of white privilege and how it affects all people of color has shaken me. I am convinced that the responsibility for healing our ‘Beloved Community’ rests squarely on my white shoulders.” -Gail B.

“ASDIC rekindled my enthusiasm and reinforced my commitment to achieving systemic change. The training is a valuable resource in my work and in my interaction with others. Once again, I thank you!” -Vanne H.

“Since joining this circle and beginning this anti-racism work in earnest, I have come to view myself and my place in the world quite differently. I recognize on a much more profound level that I have much to learn and feel deeply called to work for a more socially just world.” -Kathy N
