We invite you to join us in celebrating the role the arts have played in shaping our culture and helping us envision a true, multiracial democracy. The kick-off event for the Cultural Week of Action on Race and Democracy will be a reminder of the joy in our movement for racial justice.

In this present moment, we are cognizant that to build a future centered on racial justice, equity, and belonging, we must defend and expand our current system of democracy. We must fight for the aspiration of a multiracial democracy, and we can do so by coming together in creative and innovative ways.

In that spirit, we hope you’ll join us for our kick-off event in St. Louis this fall! Enjoy an evening of performances, arts, culture, and conversation on leveraging arts to expand our understanding of democracy and racial justice across the country.
