Resources for Anti-Racism
There is a lot to process right now. We are in the middle of a pandemic, and looking our systemic racism in the eyes—it's crucial that we not look away.
Look within, find choice
It’s important that we pay attention. Not only to what is happening around us, but within ourselves. We can become aware of our patterned responses to anger, fear, sadness or overwhelm. Do we fight, flight, freeze, or please? Knowing your tendency, you can choose how to respond.

Keep showing up to talk about it
We need one another. We need to listen to one another. We need to be willing to not know. Connection is now more important than ever. This is an urgent opportunity for us to turn inward to get clarity, and to turn towards one another to direct change. We need grit, and willingness to keep showing up to our edges to see and change our programmed and inherited racist biases, blind-spots, and the ways we perpetuate the systemic racism in this country again and again until wounds heal, new paths become visible, and change is made.
