Anti-Racism & Social Justice Resource Hub
Dear ASMPNE Members,
Please read Executive Director Tom Kennedy’s A Shaking of the Foundations post addressing the current events and their root racist causes while also condemning the treatment of the press trying to cover the protests in order to provide essential documentation and perspective.
We at the ASMP New England board acknowledge each one of us has work to do personally and as a chapter to help heal and improve this country and world. As a start, we have compiled this Anti-Racism Resources Hub and encourage you to watch the recording of the ASMP Town Hall: From 1968 to 2020 – America Again at a Crossroads from Friday, June 5th, with Leon Dash and Samantha Isom. Listen, read, support and reflect.
Be well, stay safe, and take action — ASMP New England board
(Note: This is not a comprehensive list. We will stay active and involved and continue to update this resource.)
