Earlier this summer, we posted about racial equality and what Global Impact is doing to support the Black Lives Matter movement. We acknowledged that we have work to do as an organization internally and externally, and part of that progress includes the education and growth of our staff.
As we look to listen, learn, ensure equity for people of color and elevate black voices in support of this critical movement, Global Impact staff has pulled together some of their “picks” for racial justice resources. While there are endless sources of information available, these are tools that our team has actually benefited from themselves – and we hope you will, too!
