Hi John,
If you missed the Netroots Nation plenary panel with Kimberlé Crenshaw, Rep. Justin Jones, and Tim Wise and want to hear more about why saving democracy means defending racial justice initiatives, join them for the upcoming 5th annual CRT Summer School.
Starting Sunday, July 28 and running through August 2, our friends at the African American Policy Forum will host Freedom Summer 2024: No U-Turn on Racial Justice, a week-long virtual and in-person event featuring plenaries, breakouts and networking opportunities aimed to inform, activate, and inspire.

At CRT Summer School 2024, attendees will receive the tools needed to understand and prevent this backlash faction from pushing America to a frighteningly regressive future.
Join us virtually and you can look forward to:
-
Virtual Learning Experiences: Hear from renowned experts through live-streamed plenaries, breakout sessions, and homerooms.
-
Virtual Plenaries: Learn about why the “war on woke” has become conservatives’ retrenchment tool of choice to delegitimize a broad range of progressive projects, particularly those that center on racial justice.
-
Networking and Collaboration: Connect with peers, educators, and professionals who share your passion for social progress, creating opportunities for meaningful dialogue and collaboration.
This event marks a pivotal moment for building solidarity and strategizing to protect our multiracial democracy, inviting participants from across the country to engage deeply with critical socio-political issues.
