Here are additional resources that I like to share with folks who participate in my workshops on antifascist youth development approaches. This is not at all an endorsement of the content you’ll find in the following links! There’s a lot of critiques that could be raised about a lot of these resources. However, for folks who want to learn more, this is a good place to start — and we will keep growing the antifascist youth development field! If there are additional resources that would be helpful to you or additional questions coming up for you, or additional antifascist resources that you recommend, please please let me know.
