Progressive Connexions stands in solidarity with Black people in the US and worldwide, who have suffered hundreds of years of institutionalized racism, policing and incarceration, hatred, brutality, and silencing. We are committed to using our platforms to share resources and educational materials about the long history of anti-Blackness.
If you have written or would like to recommend resources on racism, anti-Blackness, police brutality, or police abolition, either in the US or worldwide, send them to any of the Progressive Connexions social media platforms. We will repost/retweet them on social media, and add them to this resource repository.
