This Libguide from the UC Library aims to support the work of racial justice activists, advocates and allies by providing resources for self-guided education including:

  • Core concepts needed to understand the intergenerational effects of systemic racism and its impact today on the lives and bodies of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color), our society and the structures within it.
  • Healing and wellness resources for the BIPOC community.
  • Information intended to help us better understand ourselves; especially how our social identities impact others so that we can be more effective activists, advocates & allies for racial justice.
  • Tools, tips and services to assist student advocates and activists to help them document and archive their work to ensure it will be discoverable and accessible to others even after they graduate.
  • Data to guide goals setting and policy creation.
