Anti-Racism Resources - August 2026
We feature educational resources in the NAAFA Newsletter to support our community in working to dismantle racism. Resources may include historical information, tools for personal reflection, or information about how to get involved and make change. Many of the resources we suggest will be introductory resources, and this information is never intended to be full coverage on the complex and nuanced topics that are chosen each month.
This edition we invite you to join us in exploring resources about The Intersection of Racism and Anti-Fatness.
