Resources for anti-racism work

Dismantling and deconstructing racism in our upbringings, societal conditioning, communities, workplaces, political structures and countries is hard, uncomfortable work, but this work must be done.

Syzygy has compiled this list to support our community in taking action, expanding knowledge, and engaging in critical conversations with our social groups, colleagues, family members, and spheres of influence. We encourage anyone who is consuming teachings or readings from the organizations or activists listed below to donate and support their work.
