"Solidarity is not the same as support. To experience solidarity, we must have a community of interests, shared beliefs and goals around which to unite, to build.... Support can be occasional. Solidarity requires sustained, ongoing commitment." - bell hooks
As we come together at UCSF to confront and combat systemic & institutional racism, the MRC staff has curated and vetted the following resources with the hope that it provides the opportunity for us to (re)commit and do the work, individually and collectively. We encourage you to reflect and ensure that any action(s) you take is not rooted in 'false generosity' and performative allyship. (Freire, 1970).
Explore:
- Allyship
- Racial Equity & Anti-Black Racism
- Healing for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color
- California and National Social Justice & Equity Organizations
Please note that these resources are not an exhaustive list and will periodically be updated.
