Anti-Racism Work & Resources
We at Kehillah are committed to unlearn, dismantle and ultimately end racism as a community. This is a list of anti-racism and racial justice work and resources to supplement our work towards a more just community and world. Thank you to the various communities that have created, gathered and shared this information.
We also have an anti-racism and racial justice working group who meet regularly to work on improving diversity, inclusion, racial justice and solidarity within our community and beyond. If you’d like to join the group or find out more about it, please contact our administrator at info@kehillah.org.uk.
