"WANT TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST RACISM ONLINE, BUT FEEL FLAME WARS GO NOWHERE? STOP SCREAMING INTO THE VOID AND START MAKING A DIFFERENCE.
Learn to inject effective support in otherwise hostile environments, shifting the narrative from toxic to constructive. The Tauiwi Tautoko approach, based on listening and values-based messaging, has been shown by research to increase openness and encourage people to more progressive positions. Through videos, articles, and exercises, you'll learn new skills and put them into action in the real world, joining a supportive community of other like-minded tauiwi, and creating a powerful feedback cycle of practice and reflection. You'll see the real impact of your interventions individually, and the power of a whole movement doing this mahi together. "
