Dear John,
As summer winds down, we're gearing up for Facing Race—the nation's
largest multiracial and intergenerational racial justice conference.
Picture this: a vibrant space filled with thousands of advocates and
co-conspirators, ready to stir up "good trouble" in pursuit of a just,
inclusive future for all.
Now imagine yourself in this space with us, making connections at the
Facing Race Party, exploring larger-than-life art installations, cooking
up post-election game plans to safeguard our democracy, and engaging in
thought-provoking discussions at breakout sessions.
Don't miss out on this year's Facing Race conference in St. Louis,
Missouri. Register now to secure your spot.
Join us in The Gateway City! [[link removed]]
Curious about what's in store? Take a sneak peek at our schedule here.

STL Culture Takes Center Stage
As I See You
This month marks 10 years since Brown was shot and killed by a Missouri
police officer. His death sparked a national conversation on racial
disparities in policing and fueled the Black Lives Matter movement.
This year, Facing Race is proud to host three major art installations,
including the " As I See You Exhibit: A Tribute to Michael Brown Jr.
[[link removed]
" It's produced by the Michael Brown Sr. Chosen For Change Organization
with the help of Artivists STL.

Remembering Michael Brown Jr. [[link removed]]
The exhibit is like stepping into Michael's world. Through artwork and
momentos of his life – from childhood memories to the streets of
Ferguson – you'll get to know "Mike Mike" the way his loved ones did.
It's a powerful reminder of the person behind the headlines.
To see the exhibit before Facing Race, join us at the kickoff event for
Cultural Week of Action in September.
