As October approaches, we’re excited to launch a powerful new training that is both timely and essential. In a time when efforts to achieve racially equitable outcomes in policy and create better conditions for BIPOC communities are being challenged, and harmful narratives are shaping public opinion, we believe that achieving racial equity is fundamental to preserving and strengthening our democracy.

Introducing Our New Training: Narrative Change for Racial Equity!

At Race Forward, we understand that narrative is power. The stories we tell, the perceptions we cultivate, and the clichés we repeat play a pivotal role in shaping our worldviews—and, ultimately, the policies, practices, and systems that govern us. With this in mind, we are thrilled to introduce our newest training, Narrative Change for Racial Equity, designed to help us collectively build the narrative power necessary to envision and create a just, multiracial democracy. Join us on October 22nd to sharpen your skills in using narrative change strategies.

This is just one of the fantastic Racial Equity Training opportunities in the coming months, including our return to in-person training in St. Louis on Oct. 17!
