Anti-Racism Resources, Several Lists
If you are new to anti-racism, you may feel either overwhelmed with the amount of material there is to assimilate, and/or unsure where to begin. Just begin somewhere, anywhere. Look over the lists and click at something that catches your eye - read, listen, watch. And then do something, however small, even if that something is just more reading, listening, watching and reflecting. Being anti-racist involves action. Here below are three different resource documents. These are not definitive lists by any means, but a place to start. There may be some cross over between them, as would be expected.
“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced. ”
Document compiled by Sarah Sophie Flicker, Alyssa Klein in May 2020.
This document is intended to serve as a 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.
“I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality… I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.”
Document complied by team at Eglinton-Lambton United Church who created and led the Anti-Racism Learning Workshop during Black History Month, 2021.
The team have generously shared their list of resources, many of which have been featured in our own Anti-Racist Resource Page.
“Defeating racism, tribalism, intolerance and all forms of discrimination will liberate us all, victim and perpetrator alike.”
Document compiled by Natasha Massey, Community Liaison of the Wellness Hub, Wild Rose United Church, Calgary, where they offered a Black Lives Matter series to their community.
“The beauty of anti-racism is that you don’t have to pretend to be free of racism to be anti-racist. Anti-racism is the commitment to fight racism wherever you find it, including in yourself. And it’s the only way forward.”
