We’re less than five months away from Facing Race! This is the largest racial justice conference for activists, organizers, and public servants seeking to tear down oppressive systems and reimagine new ones.
The current moment calls for a convening of minds and collaboration across sectors. We need spaces to envision and strategize together. Amid political uncertainty and momentum, we must unite to refine tactics, strengthen coalitions, foster joy, and chart a path forward.
Facing Race 2024 offers you all the above and so much more.
Join the 1300+ people who have already registered for this multi-day, intergenerational gathering in St. Louis. We cannot wait to share space and be in community with you. Register now to join us!
