Thank you for being a vital part of Race Forward’s community. The past few years have presented many challenges that threaten our work. Your support has fueled our strength to grow the movement for racial equity, to keep hopefulness alive, and to anchor ourselves in a just vision for the future. We are grateful to you for being a part of this journey and ask you to stay in the fight with us as we face one of the most challenging political moments of our lifetimes.  

We must continue to collectively resist the expansion of authoritarian power exemplified by Project 2025–a playbook for dismantling core democratic practices with the vision to turn government agencies into arms of oppression with disastrous consequences for communities of color.

Today, I ask for your ongoing support in helping us protect, repair, and build systems that foster a democratic society where everyone benefits.

Next month, just weeks after the election, we will host Facing Race in St. Louis, our biennial conference which serves as a vital intersection where community organizers, activists, and movement makers converge.

We know that local organizing and building aligned movements for justice is the key to the future —exactly the kind of work Race Forward and our partners have led for over 40 years.

I invite you to take an active role in this journey by making a donation to Race Forward today. Your gift, no matter the size, is not just a contribution—it's a statement that you stand with us as we work for a resilient, equitable democracy. Together, we can shape a future where justice and opportunity truly belong to everyone. Will you join us?

Thank you for your support of Race Forward and our mission. Your partnership is how we succeed.

In Solidarity,

Glenn Harris

President, Race Forward
