Respond to Racism is changing and growing, responsive to ever-growing threats to self-determination and personal sovereignty for many of our neighbors.

Let’s make sure this work continues!

Joy for Juneteenth is a campaign to put money and vital energy into the work that Respond to Racism staff, students, and people most impacted by historical and systemic inequity do each and every day. 

Please remember to add “Joy for Juneteenth” to the “Note to Seller” area.
