Anti-Racism Resources

An Anti-Racism Resources document was created by Bryanna Wallace and Autumn Gupta in June in the aftermath of the George Floyd murder, as a month-long learning course with resources, but also serves as an ongoing resource to white people and parents to deepen our anti-racism work. If you haven’t engaged in anti-racism work in the past, start now. Feel free to circulate this document on social media and with your friends, family, and colleagues.
