sources


We honor those we have learned from by saying their names.


Calling In & Up was built on shared knowledge. Throughout the guide you will see that we attribute the source of the ideas, tools and methods included whenever possible. They are also all compiled here on this page. This guide is also a living document, an open source for Women of Color and their comrades that will grow and improve through input and new perspectives. Please use this guide freely and spread it widely, and as you do, we ask that you attribute it as a source and use the tag #CallingInandUp when you post on social media.
