Resources for Learning about Racial and Social Equity

As the topic of racial equity fills so much of the news, we understand that we have a responsibility to continue to educate ourselves.

We also recognize that education is not enough and that this it is not simply a box to be checked.

In our ongoing process of organizational growth, we will be listening, learning, and leaning in to difficult discussions in order to gain new insights.

There are many resources to draw from. Here are a few that we have been using and reflecting on:

Becoming Trustworthy White Allies

Fighting White Supremacy and White Privilege to Build a Human Rights Movement
