Further Resources

A Brief Note

We plan to update this resource list as new materials emerge and as new ones are brought to our attention. Please feel free to email us or access the suggestion box to provide ideas for what resources should be included.

These resources are meant to be confounding, disruptive, educational, and, at times, uncomfortable. By no means is this list comprehensive, nor does it guarantee that you will become an enlightened and anti-racist ally by the end of it. They are entry points, places of expansion, and opportunities for reflection, while also requiring more than reading (e.g. action, practice, etc.).

We hope this is a helpful list to get you started!
