An Anti-Racist Resource List

We have compiled a list of resources that includes books, videos, podcasts and more.  First, we suggest that you start with these two items:

1.  A document containing resources which people can use to begin to understand and dismantle White supremacy. This scaffolding anti-racism resources document presents stages of White supremacy, and resources corresponding to that stage. Many of the references listed later in our resource list can also be found on this list.

2.  Justice in June is a resource prepared for the purpose of providing a starting place for individuals trying to become better allies. It is a month-long daily practice, divided into 10 minute, 25 minute or 45 minute long practices. 

We have separated the rest of the resources into the following categories, in alphabetical order.  If you click on the link, it will take you to that section of this list.  We currently have resources in English, and German.
