Anti-racist Learning

Our board and staff are in the middle of anti-racist training and we wanted to share this powerful video our consultants used to kick off yesterday’s session.  In the video entitled ‘How We Can Win” (which went viral in June 2020 and was later turned into a book), political activist Kimberly Jones spoke off the cuff — with clarity and passion — about her frustration with the rigged economic system that Black Americans have faced for generations.

If you have other videos, books, articles, etc,. that you have found useful, please share them us and we will add them to the Racial Equity Resource list we’ve been compiling.

Also, thanks to funding from the Metrowest Health Foundation, Wayside Youth & Family Support Network’s new Equity Training Center is offering a free series of anti-racist online trainings. You may sign up for the entire series or choose the sessions that are most relevant to you and your organization. See the list of workshops here.
