Originally posted to a previous incarnation of this website on 2020-06-11 but I made the decision to port it over because I still access it myself and hope that it may be useful to some of you.
It is by no means comprehensive and has not been updated since 2020. At that time, it was a collection of inputs that I found helpful in educating myself, a white settler counsellor learning about anti-racism and anti-oppressive practices. I have learned much more since then and continue to try to educate myself.
I have had enormous privilege in my life. I am grateful that the world is changing and I am trying to listen, learn, up-post, donate, support. Posting this list of what I have collected so far in case it is useful to others.
