Anti-Racism Resources

UC-AFT Anti-Racism Committee (ARC)

The UC-AFT Anti-Racism Committee (ARC) seeks to address the racial politics of our union and propose changes that will actively engage members in Anti-Racist work and at every level of the union. We approach this charge with an intersectional framework that acknowledges the many ways that white supremacy overlaps and intersects with other categories of identity and structures of power.

The ARC was convened during the summer of 2020 amidst widespread protests in the United States and around the world following the murder of George Floyd by police that was filmed and shared widely on social media. Floyd’s death joins a long list of recent killings of Black people in this country at the hands of police and/or citizens, including Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and Tony McDade.

UC Library Resources

The Anti-Racism Committee Research & Resource List is a guide to anti-racist resources collected by the UC libraries and beyond. The Committee will continue to add links to and descriptions of anti-racist video and audio recordings, films, podcasts, websites, articles, books, syllabus collections and tools, toolkits, and journals to promote engagement in diverse perspectives. Help us create a rich resource by sharing your recommendations for anti-racist materials by using this form (also use this form to report broken links).

Keywords have been added for each resource to support discovery. If you are not familiar with Google Sheets, press Ctrl-F (Windows) or command-F (Mac) and enter the word or phrase you want to find in the search box. Matches will be highlighted.

Campus Resources

The UC Campus resource list is a collection of various resources offered on different campuses addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion, as well as anti-racist frameworks. The committee will continue to add links, so if you have suggestions for campus links or if any links are broken, please fill out this form.
