Anti-Racism, Racial Justice Resources
Curated and compiled by Sujata Tejwani of Sujata Strategies.
(Please do not email The BGG about having resources added to this list.)
​
Below is a list of stand-alone resources and other compilations of many resources to start guiding your work on Anti-racism, Racial Justice, and Abolition. There is a lot to review here and options from articles, to graphics, to books, to movies, TV, and podcasts. It can seem overwhelming, but you can never say you don’t know where to go or what to say or do! You have to take the time to do the work and you have options for 30 minutes to hours to months of time!
Almost all of these include material for WHITE and NON-BLACK PoC PARENTING as well.
Talking to Kids about Protests (maybe also adults!)
