Currently there is no getting around the issue of racism – and that is a good thing, because change is only possible by addressing and discussing social injustice and inequalities. The @antlantischeakademie has created a list of literature, podcasts, organisations as well as movies and TV shows that offers a good introduction to the topic, the opportunity for further education, and suggestions for how to get involved.
In the following we would like to introduce you to some organisations worth supporting; please find the Atlantic Academy’s full list at https://www.atlantische-akademie.de/racism/ (in German).
