Actively anti-racist

Inspired and led by their youth, the Zoroastrian Association of Metropolitan Washington Incorporated (ZAMWI) plans to host "conversations on racism and understand the interconnections across our communities…We ask every Zoroastrian not only to feel compassion and solidarity with Black Americans, but to see the interconnections of our humanity, the responsibility we all have to work for justice, and to confront the roles we play in anti-Black racism,” noted a message from the ZAMWI board on their website.
Expressing their "solidarity with the families of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and all victims of institutionalized racism and police brutality,” the board urged members "to participate in any way you can to demand and work for justice for Black lives. Sign petitions and write to your elected representatives. If you are financially able to, donate to community-based organizations led by Black Americans, or bail funds for those who have been unjustly arrested.
"Most importantly, we ask each one of us to educate ourselves on the roles we play in this time of crisis, the roles we play in perpetuating oppression, and to find our own individual voices in bringing about change…
"Our Zoroastrian faith calls on us to seek knowledge with an open mind. The Gathas teach us that the search for truth and knowledge, the good mind, and ultimate happiness is a very challenging process. We each have responsibility for our thoughts, words and deeds, and must recognize the impact we have on the world in which we live. Let us commit to learning, understanding and examining our underlying prejudices; not let pride or ego stand in the way, and acknowledge that being actively anti-racist is a lifelong process.”
