As of August 2022, Cross Cultural Solidarity features 150+ racial justice history resources… and has launched a fundraising campaign to build hundreds more over the next few years. Here’s what’s forthcoming:

• Each of the main categories on the landing page are under continuous expansion: dozens of new resource pages will be built within each main category. For example, the forthcoming series of resources on the Civil Rights Movement alone will probably add 20 new resource pages to the Black Freedom Struggle section.

• New main categories will be launched on the landing page. The Asian American and Indigenous history sections will be the first to launch, followed by Black Internationalism, followed by Solidarity. The Black Internationalism section will consist of separate pages for Black American connections with Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe, and Africa. The Solidarity section will collect resources exploring the topic of solidarity, and will eventually include an original interview series.

• The Systemic Racism section will be overhauled, and turned into its own main category on the landing page, with collections of resources for each variation of systemic racism (i.e. housing, schooling, healthcare, etc.) For example: Instead of having broad collections of resources such as the current Mass Incarceration: Articles, there would be an entire section on mass incarceration, with a number of resources under it such as: Juvenile “Justice”: Historical; Juvenile “Justice”: Contemporary; Policing LGBT Communities in U.S. History; The Impact of Mass Incarceration on Families and Communities; Prison Abolition; Homelessness & Mass Incarceration; Early Histories of Incarceration; etc.

• Although there are a number of resources to be added to the White Supremacy section, slavery needs to be mentioned in particular. The reason why the topic of slavery is not yet represented is because a huge collection of resource pages covering the many, many dimensions of slavery is currently under construction.

• In the White Antiracism section, a variety of resources are being created. You can read more about those resources, and Cross Cultural Solidarity’s commitment to mobilizing White people for racial justice, here.

• Until the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Cross Cultural Solidarity had been entirely focused on multiracial solidarity, and on building racial justice resources. However, solidarity is about gender justice, disability rights, economic rights… all of us recognizing and fighting for one another’s humanity, and working together to build a just world where we can ALL thrive. Cross Cultural Solidarity immediately launched a Women’s Rights section in the wake of the Roe overturning, and will be expanding that section, as well as adding new sections on the main landing page for LGBT and Disability rights.

How quickly all of this happens depends entirely on the level of support the project receives. If Cross Cultural Solidarity’s fundraising efforts succeed, the plan sketched above will be completed within two to three years. To help make this happen, just support the project at any level. When you do, you’ll get plugged into all the new resources as they become available!
