This resource guide is a collection of resources, insights, and perspectives that provide a starting point for a lifelong journey working toward anti-racism, equity, and restoration. The purpose of this guide is educational: to encourage conversation, heart change, and action.

“It’s time, Beloved. It’s time to commit yourselves to learning. It’s time to commit yourselves to speaking. It’s time to commit yourselves to writing. It’s time to commit yourselves to organizing. It’s time to commit yourselves to preaching. It’s time to commit yourselves to teaching. It’s time to commit to understanding American history. It’s time to commit yourselves to the work of racial justice. It’s time to commit yourselves to love — whatever that looks like at the intersection of your giftedness and influence. But when I say love, I’m not talking meaningless, polite niceties. You can keep that. I’m talking about a love that takes risks. A love that requires sacrifice. A love that protests hate.” Austin Channing Brown, Our Work Just Got Harder
