Resources on Anti-racism

As part of our series focused on the movement for black lives, we’re providing tools and educational sources to actively be anti-racist.

As part of our effort to amplify the networks on the Internet that are aiding in the fight against systemic racism and violence, we’re putting together resources to help aid Black communities and allies. To reiterate, resources include actions that those in the Webby community are taking, educational links, and work that has been created to address these issues.

Yesterday, we focused on resources about police brutality. Today, we’ve aggregated resources to learn more about systemic racism and how to actively engage in anti-racism. You can find our full, running list of resources on our website.

Donate: To take immediate action, here is a Linktree with multiple organizations that need financial support. We’ve added more donation links in this newsletter.

As always, Tweet us or message us on Instagram @TheWebbyAwards if you have more resources and voices that should be highlighted. We will work to amplify them across our channels.
