"Intersectionality is used to refer to the very complex way that the effects of different forms of discrimination and oppression (racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, xenophobia, etc.) overlap, combine, and intersect." - from Reconciling Ministries Network
At Wellspring, we seek to take an active stance in standing with the oppressed, especially those affected by multiple forms of oppression. Here are some resources for anti-racism.
A great place to start is Harvard's Anti-Racism Resources List, especially their book list.
