Another voice to turn to for learning & growing in the space of healing racism is Ruth King and we’re re-releasing her 2018 episode this week. As you take some time to pause and listen to the deep wisdom that Ruth King shares, consider how you can take action to contribute to healing racism in your community. 

To that end, we’ve created a small resource guide to point you in a few directions that we think might be helpful as you look to further educate yourself on what action steps to take.

The Southern Poverty Law Center is dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry and to seeking justice for the most vulnerable members of our society.

I found this to be a great article that has lots of actions to take- 75 Things White People Can Do for Racial Justice

So many of the changes we need to see regarding police brutality have to happen at the local level. That is good news because it’s easier to get involved and have more impact. This page has Campaign Zero’s list of issues by city and state.
