Narrative or website URL providing an overview of the staff networks and engagement programs that are advancing ecological integrity and/or racial equity and social justice:
Aspiring Anti-Racist Allies (AARA) is an affinity space primarily for self-identified white staff, faculty, and alumni at Xavier University who want to become anti-racist, anti-supremacist allies and examine their ideas about race and racism. We challenge ourselves and other white people to take responsibility for racist oppression, and we welcome opportunities to communicate, collaborate, and build relationships with people of color to challenge racism together. Thier goal is to develop awareness, knowledge, and skills that will enable us to work in solidarity with others toward racial justice on campus and in our broader community. Their work supports Xavier's commitment to helping everyone on campus cultivate lives of reflection, compassion, and informed action by addressing the intellectual, moral, and spiritual dimensions of racism and white supremacy.

Each week participants meet to discuss Laudato Si' and Laudate Deum and visit various spots on campus that showcase particular sustainability initiatives. In addition to learning more about sustainability and Xavier’s mission, participants learn what they can do to advance sustainability at Xavier.
