What is “STNT”?
When hurtful language becomes accepted and normalized in our public discourse, it excludes certain people from fully engaging in our society. Say This, Not That supports you in bringing more consciousness to language that cultivates greater trust between people.

The Founders of STNT
We are fascinated by language as a social and cultural phenomenon. And believe that raising our consciousness about harmful language can open up meaningful conversations and move us toward a more inclusive society.

What people are saying about STNT
Studies have shown that race-based sports images significantly decrease self-esteem and self-efficacy of Native American students. The use of Indian mascots pops up in our communication. STNT can help flag this problem for people who may not already know this issue.

Western States Center’s vision is about racial, gender and economic justice. I love that STNT is one platform that addresses all these challenges: racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, and transphobia.

“People on the margins, from youth to undocumented immigrants, often do not get to define the words and terms used to describe them. I’m excited that STNT opens a wider possibility for people to understand how we want to be talked about.”
