Anti-Racism Resource for Nonprofit Folx
Hey nonprofit folx,
I don’t know how to watch our communities be oppressed, abused, and murdered while recognizing that this is the reality many of you live every day.
But I need to be loudly anti-racist. And as a nonprofit leader dedicated to improving your community, I need you to be anti-racist.
We need to do more than share memes on Facebook and grieve for our BIPOC friends. We need to recognize it is a privilege to learn about racism - instead of dying from it. We need to examine our white fragility, as uncomfortable as it can be.
There are many conversations happening right now from which we can learn and I implore you to join them - a few resources and articles are linked below.
And to the Black folx reading this... I hear your rage, fear, dreams, and voices. I hear you.
