Undoing Racism Toolkit
The toolkit was created for state-certified and community based domestic violence programs in the state of Georgia who are interested in incorporating an undoing racism perspective in their work and who are committed to undoing racism and oppression. This toolkit is not intended to be used alone, but as a road map for anti-racism work done in partnership with GCADV and while receiving support, guidance and technical assistance from GCADV and other organizations involved in undoing racism work. Before beginning this work consider your organizations purpose, readiness for change and your “why”.
