ANTI-RACISM RESOURCES
Feeling overwhelmed? That’s okay, but it’s important to start somewhere. This week, challenge yourself to:
- Follow five Instagram accounts.
- Listen to one podcast.
- Watch one TED talk.
- Get your hands on one book.
- Donate to one nonprofit.
That’s a solid start and it will set the dominoes in motion. Then do it again next week.
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. We will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”
-Martin Luther King Jr.
