Dear John,

Last month, the nation reflected on successes emerging from the 1963
March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, a monumental gathering from
the committed efforts of civil rights, labor, religious organizations
nationwide. The event lives in infamy as one of the largest political
rallies for human rights in the United States - organized and executed
without direct assistance from the federal government.

Sixty years later, the federal government is demonstrating how a racial
equity agenda executed through intentional planning and consistent
implementation can strengthen our democracy while yielding benefits for
all. Federal agencies wield immense influence to set the tone of the
nation. They are positioned to lead America towards an equitable future.
This moment is built upon decades of movement organizing to name,
counter, and dismantle systemic racism.

Our Federal Initiative to Govern for Racial Equity (FIRE) team recently
held an online event exploring efforts to advance racial equity via
federal programs. Panelists focused on the possibilities that could
emerge when federal government leaders commit to identifying and
removing systemic barriers, and embracing the charge of advancing racial
equity.

Last summer we saw firsthand that so much continues to be at stake ––
highlighted by the Supreme Court's overturning of affirmative action,
which came nearly one year after the Court's decision to overturn Roe v.
Wade, which secured a woman's right to choose. As we close out the year,
moving towards the 2024 elections, we must continue to uphold the
planning and implementation goals set by our predecessors with the 1963
March. We are charged to uphold and extend their efforts to advance our
nation's racial equity agenda for years to come.
