As social workers, we work for peaceful yet progressive change. In response to the Black Lives Matter movement that began sweeping the nation in Summer 2020, the Mandel School put together a list of anti-racism resources as an attempt to provide general information and as a starting point to learn about anti-oppression, inclusion and privilege. We hope the below information provides you with the knowledge and resources to participate in key social justice issues.
