Anti-Racism Resources
"The opposite of racist isn't 'not racist.' It is 'anti-racist.' ...
One either allows racial inequities to persevere, as a racist, or confronts racial inequities, as an anti-racist.
There is no in-between safe space of 'not racist." - Ibram X. Kendi, How to Be an Antiracist
Local Initiatives with Santa Cruz County Parks
