In Solidarity

June 10, 2020 by Literacy Volunteers of Greater Worcester

Dear friends,

We are deeply saddened by the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and countless others before them. We stand with the Black community in mourning. We see you, we hear you, and we are with you. Black lives matter.
We are committed to anti-racist education as a crucial part of our mission. The following is a list of resources that tutors and students can use in their lessons, as many learners have understandably raised questions about recent events.

  • Change Agent Issue 42 — Race
  • ESL Library Lesson on George Floyd Protests (Tutor Version) (Student Version)
  • Letters for Black Lives
  • Anti-Racism Resource List
  • National Museum of African American History & Culture: Talking About Race
  • Talking to Kids about Racism & Justice

We are determined to strengthen our leadership and volunteer recruitment practices to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion, and to ensure that our leadership is more representative of those we serve. Over the coming months, we will engage more with students, tutors, teachers, and other stakeholders to better understand your respective experiences as well as seek ideas and input that will ultimately make us stronger as a community.

Conversations about race can be uncomfortable, and we do not pretend to have all the answers, but we are here to listen, talk, and learn together.

In solidarity,
The LVGW Team
