Anti-Racism Resources

Understanding racial history and advocating for justice and equity is a lifelong journey. If you’re a white person like I am and you’re new to these topics—or if you have doubts about their importance—I suggest that you start with the information directly below, and that as you develop stronger muscles and more resilience you dig into the following sections, which are more challenging and may be daunting for those just beginning their journey. For those interested in anti-racist resources based on Christianity, the last section below is provided.

If you’re Black, Indigenous, a person of color, or in any way directly harmed by racism or discrimination, as you review this information please be sensitive to how it affects you and may trigger emotions and memories of harm, and care for yourself.

Finally, if you have additional resources not included below, pass them along to me.
