“We must awaken to the ways that race and racism have shaped our own brains, our ways of being in the world, and our hopes for the work we might do together.”
Rhonda Magee
RESOURCES
We offer resources for your continued learning, including recommending the work of other organizations. Racial justice training is not a competitive field. We all win when we work collectively to address racial injustice.
ANTI-
RACIST TOOLS
In our signature introductory course, How to Talk About Race, we focus on teaching a number of tools to support educators and parenting adults in talking about race and taking anti-racist actions in their school communities. These tools are rooted in practices from community organizing, democratic education, critical pedagogy, critical race pedagogy and intergroup dialogue.
