International Blog Against Racism Week

[chomiji]

It's already Tuesday and I haven't posted squat about this. I fail. I have a sort-of article in process, which I hope I will be able to post tomorrow.

If you haven't run into this before: this is a week to use your LJ, blog, or other online journal to consider, talk about, and otherwise air the subject of racism in the world. Real-life experiences, literature, history, current news: it's all grist for the mill.

There is an LJ community for IBARW right here, and it says that if you want to participate, you should:

1. Announce the week in your blog.
2. If you use a blogging system that allows post icons/pictures, switch your default icon to either an official IBARW icon, or one which you feel is appropriate. To get an official IBARW icon, you may modify one of yours yourself or ask someone to do so. Here's a round up of IBARW icons.
3. Post about race and/or racism: in media, in life, in the news, personal experiences, writing characters of color, portrayals of race in fiction, review a book on the subject, etc. (Linking back [to the IBARW community] is highly appreciated!) The optional theme this year is intersectionality.

For more information, you should check out the community, which will tell you about getting your IBARW blog entry included in the IBARW del.icio.us account and on the IBARW round-up posts.
