Anti-Racism & Social Justice Resource Hub
Dear ASMPNE Members,
We at the ASMP New England board acknowledge each one of us has continued work to do personally and as a chapter to help heal and improve this country and world. As a start, we are maintaining 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 5, 2020 with Leon Dash and Samantha Isom.
Listen, read, support and reflect.
Be well, stay safe, and take action — ASMP New England board
