We are two retired women who spent their professional lives working in non-profit substance use and mental health organizations. We live relatively quiet lives in a small rural town in Connecticut. The idea for this website started after we’d invited some new acquaintances over for dinner. During our meal, one of them made a racist comment. We were shocked. Unfortunately, we froze and didn’t say anything. Afterwards, we were distressed that we'd each let our discomfort override our conscience, and we made a commitment to speak up against racism. This experience led us to create this website to encourage and motivate others to do the same.
We want to thank the many family and community members who helped us. Special thanks to Mrs&Mr creative company for the artwork.
