Donate, Watch, Read: Resources in the Fight Against Racial Injustice

At SXSW EDU we stand with the Black community and will continue to elevate the voices and ideas that lead us to a more equitable world. We are taking time to listen, to learn, and to amplify Black voices.

Please consider donating to these organizations that are diligently working to effect profound societal reform both in education and more broadly. This list is a selection, and we acknowledge that there are many, many more national and local organizations to research and support.

And please, take some time to watch some of the leaders in education that we’ve been honored to have speak at SXSW EDU in recent years. Their powerful points of view around their own stories, as well as their broader perspectives, are well worth a listen.

Lastly, we’ve included a list of books authored by members of the SXSW EDU community. Again, this list is a selection and we recommend continued research because it’s our responsibility to become better informed allies and take steps towards continuously educating ourselves.
