Here is an anti-racism resources list of NCR reporting and commentary, plus reporting and commentary from our sister publications, Global Sisters Report and EarthBeat. We hope these resources help our readers understand what is happening in our country and our church.

Listen: GSR staff writer Dawn Araujo-Hawkins on how women religious are working to overcome a history of racism; NCR Bertelsen interns Maria Benevento and James Dearie on faith-based efforts to reduce gun violence.
