For a while I have wanted to challenge myself to be creative with my activism as a starting point. So I decided to work with something that has been bugging me for sometime, The Black Pete tradition.
Every year we see people running around with blackface under the guise of it "being tradition". I created a simple solution that everyone can carry in their pockets for those situations where you meet one of these people stuck in the past. A solution to help them step into the 21 century.
This is the anti-Black Pete Wipe!
This is a work in progress. A dream would to be working on this with the project with KOZP (https://www.nederlandwordtbeter.nl/projecten/zwarte-piet-is-racisme-campagne/kozp/).
To clarify they are in no way connected to the project at this point in time.

To clarify, I have nothing against Sinterklaas or Pete, I just think we could remove blackface from a tradition directed at children.
