Accelerating Anti-Racism Resources

Together SC has begun a journey of Facing Race Together.  Racial inequities and its ramifications extend to all facets of life, and the nonprofit sector is no exception. We are not exempt. In fact, we are postioned to lead by working together to create a society in which the structures that perpetuate racism can no longer stand.  

This library of resources is designed to help nonprofit leaders establish and champion race and social equity, diversity, equity, and inclusion (RDEI), and accelerate anti-racism within their organizations and beyond. 

This page will be updated regularly. Please send additions, revision suggestions, concerns, and general feedback, to Rodney@TogetherSC.org
