Action Resource Guide
Sarah Pardo, 2021 Unity Breakfast Coordinating Committee (Updated: January 9, 2023)
Thank you for attending the MLK Unity Breakfast and for seeking out ways to get involved.
There are many opportunities to take anti-racist action every day, including self-education through written and audio-visual materials, practicing conversations about race and racism, joining a local anti-racist organization, and donating money and time to social justice organizations.
About this Guide: This guide is meant to provide various points of entry to social justice movements. The fight for justice and equity is lifelong, meaning that we can return to any of these points of entry depending on our current position movement spaces. Start with whatever resource feels most relevant and accessible to you at this time and invite a friend to join in with you.
LOCAL ACTION: WATERTOWN ORGANIZATIONS
In white-dominant “progressive” parts of the United States, there’s a pervasive myth that racism happens in other parts of the country, but not in our own communities. In fact, racism exists in every town in the U.S., and there’s work to be done wherever you find yourself. There are several organizations in Watertown focused on racial justice, equity, and civic engagement which are actively seeking new voices, leadership, and volunteers.
