Anti-Racism Resources & Ways to Help

Like so many, we are outraged by the recent events surrounding the murder of George Floyd and a long, sad history of similar actions in our country against so many other Black men and women. We are committed to creating an inclusive space where we can learn, listen, educate, support, and take action. Below is a list of resources we have compiled; it is by no means comprehensive, and we will continue to add to it. Please feel free to add more resources in the comments!
