Constructive White Conversations is a place for white people who want to understand and dismantle racism, build and maintain white anti-racist community, and explore the nature of white identity.
Cross Cultural Solidarity - https://crossculturalsolidarity.com/
CrossCulturalSolidarity.com aims to become a one-stop site for people to plug into the wide universe of racial justice history. As of August 2022, there are resources on over 150 racial justice history topics… and a fundraising campaign has been launched to build hundreds more over the next few years.
Cross Cultural Solidarity is especially committed to strengthening bonds of multiracial solidarity. Achieving racial equity and building a strong, robust democracy requires us all to unite, as Black, Brown, and White. Our ability to work together and stand up for each other is strengthened when we have access to inspiring examples of solidarity: thus, the first two categories on the main landing page are Black/Brown Solidarity and White Antiracism.
A Great Site - and its creator Lynn - a wonderful Friend and Ally (gm)!

Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) - https://surj.org/
Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) is a national organization that brings hundreds of thousands of white people into fights for racial and economic justice.
For too long, the Right has hoarded wealth and power by using strategic racism to convince white people that we have more in common with billionaires and corporate elites than with the people of color in our communities. At SURJ, we bring our folks in by offering a better alternative: a just, vibrant future where people of all races work together to win what we need. We do this work by building people power in multi-racial communities across our network — through campaigns, 200 chapters across the country, and deep local organizing projects.
NOTE: AWARE-LA - listed above in part is the Los Angeles Chapter of SURJ. AWARE-LA is undoubtedly the strongest chapter of SURJ - which is the largest/strongest white Anti-Racism Group in the U.S. AWARE-LA - https://www.awarela.org/ - has an incredible website - listing a lot of valuable resources
White Men for Racial Justice (WMRJ) - https://www.wmrj.org/
Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color often say they are tired of explaining to White people how race shows up in our everyday lives. Some describe it as painful to listen to White people suddenly 'discover' truths hidden in plain sight. This is especially true in their experience with White men, who hold disproportionate power, and are least present and skillful in 'the work.'
WMRJ is a response to explicit requests to 'go get our people.'
