All resources were found on the New Mexico United Professional Soccer team website. We are beyond appreciative of the work they put in to give New Mexicans a list of anti-racism educational resources, local and national non-profits to donate to and volunteer with, and black owned local businesses and artists to support. Please do your part by utilizing this page to help combat racism and your own biases!
