Anti-Racism Resources: Latinx Heritage Month 2022
Each month, we will be featuring educational resources in the NAAFA Newsletter and on the NAAFA Community Voices Blog. Some resources will be historic information about systemic racism. Others will be resources on doing the internal work of understanding ourselves and how we play a part in that system. There may also be actions that can be taken to directly oppose racism.
In honor of Latinx Heritage Month, we are looking at racism both against and amongst Latinx people.
