Abby Wexler, Editor-in-Chief

I understand that I will never understand completely, but I stand with you. Here is a list of resources that I will continue to use and hope you can use to better educate yourself. This list will keep expanding. If you know additional resources that are not mentioned in this article, please feel free to email me at [email protected]. Most importantly, if you are able to, register to vote. Voting at all levels, not just in the presidential race, is essential to continue progressing forward in the movement and making our country equal for everyone.
