Anti-Racism Resources

Lifespan Resources for Learning About and Responding to Racism

This painful moment in time calls us to focus our learning and reflection on allyship to people of color, understanding white privilege, and reflecting on how we can part of a systemic sea change and solution in our society. 

This is the beginning of a list of resources and programs we will explore on our own and together in the coming months.  Links for discussions will be posted in the e-news, on the website and Facebook page.
