Anti-Racist Bibliography

SSCAN encourages community members to think deeply about the systemic roots of racism and we are grateful for organizations such as THE PEOPLE’S INSTITUTE FOR SURVIVAL AND BEYOND for gathering educational resources and making them available to the public. 

On their website, they state, “We prioritize our people as our most powerful resource. As one of our co-founders, Mr. Ronald Chisom reminds us: we cannot read or educate racism away. And, we recognize the need and desire to have additional texts and tools to support anti-racist organizing. Our collective helped us choose what to include, and we’re grateful to our organizer-trainers for their work.”
