After three years, in-person trainings are back! Join racial equity advocates and practitioners for an upcoming in-person Building Racial Equity (BRE) training in Oakland or New York City and let's take a bold step together towards creating a more racially just society.

Race Forward’s BRE trainings are designed to impart the tools and insights needed to actively challenge systemic racism and advance racial equity in institutions and communities. This foundational training will sharpen understanding of racial equity and equip participants with practical strategies to address institutional and structural racism. This will include using frameworks to navigate challenging systemic racism discourse. This will allow participants to engage in complex conversations and shift current political narratives in pursuit of racial justice.

We also offer innovative virtual trainings:
