I'm out of practice in teaching high school students. But this month, I had occasion to speak with two high school classes for Black history month.

I have work to get to today. Before heading offline, I want to share again that we made a workbook for Let This Radicalize You and if you look on pp. 100-109, you will find a list of countless organizing resources: books, articles, manuals, podcasts etc... It's all there to use.
