Curious to know which books and/or organizations shaped your #SocialJustice and #RacialEquity lens

Looking at this book list from https://antiraciststarterpack.com/

The first book I read on #RaceConscious perspectives was #RaceMatters from #CornelWest

I typically recommend #HowToBeAnAntiRacist by #IbramXKendi to folks who are new to learning about #antiracism and #WeDoThisTilWeFreeUs by #MariameKaba for folks who are learning about #CommunityOrganizing with an #abolitionist lens

The orgs I recommend following to learn the basics around social justice issues are #MovementForBlackLives #M4BL #NDNCollective #ShowingUpForRacialJustice #SURJ #CriticalResistance and so many others

Resources to read, unlearn, relearn, and to continuously educate yourselves with. This is not a moment, but a collective movement. Black liberation is liberation for all.
