Antiracist Resources for All Ages

Finding ways to celebrate faith at home can be tough, I’m really grateful to be able to collect trustworthy resources for families to do faith formation with one another. This week I’m focusing primarily on Antiracist formation, because Antiracist work IS Christian work!

While most of our St. Paul’s families are white parents with white children, I acknowledge that is not the case across the board. Now, more than ever, it is time for White people to talk frankly with their children about race, racism, and white supremacy. Your children are already very aware of race, and if you hesitate to speak about it, they will learn that it is a taboo subject, and they will absorb the dominant cultural narrative of white supremacy. Silence is, in this case, complicity.

Beyond just talking, it would be helpful to gather your kids together and talk to them about the protests they are seeing, about why they are necessary, and to make donation together to bail funds.
