We hope that you might find them useful, too. To help you choose, you&#8217;ll find short introductions for some of the resources (our aim is to have an intro for each resource\u2014thanks for your patience while we work on this!).<\/p>\n<p>These selected resources are grouped by main topic, and we&#8217;ve also highlighted the ones that are very accessible, e.g., free to access, shorter in length, produced for a more general audience, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, in sharing these resources, we don&#8217;t intend to present ourselves as being &#8220;free from racism&#8221; or &#8220;already antiracist&#8221;. Instead, we follow Ijeoma Oluo, understanding that we don&#8217;t need to be free of racism to commit ourselves to the ongoing work of doing antiracism, starting with ourselves and the systems we reproduce.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The beauty of anti-racism is that you don&#8217;t have to pretend to be free of racism to be an anti-racist. Anti-racism is the commitment to fight racism wherever you find it, including in yourself.
