- U.S. Census Bureau (Statistics on Interracial Relationships)
- The Abolitionist Examiner (Every other month, TAE will explore concepts promoting freedom from "racial identity" and "racial group-think" through commentary and direct action. TAE believes that "race" is no longer a valid or necessary identifier and continued dependence and allegiance to "race" is only holding back the 'Human Race' from achieving it's true potential. It's time to break the chains and liberate ourselves).

- MAVIN Magazine (An internationally distributed print and online magazine that celebrates the mixed race experience. The mixed race experience is an inclusive term that recognizes the diversity of people's experiences. The term includes but is not limited to: mixed race people, transracial adoptees, interracial couples, mixed race families, and the friends and extended family members of these people. Even if someone is not mixed-race him/herself, if they have a friend or family member who is multiracial, then they too have a "mixed race experience").
