In honor of Pride month and in support of the current movement for racial equity, we offer a short resource list. We have tried to compile resources that are relevant to the CSPC community and may not have been included in other lists. We welcome your input. If you are aware of resources you think we should know about, especially if they pertain to both racial equity and sex positivity, please forward them to skitty@thecspc.org.
