, published by Race Forward, partners with movement organizers,

What is collective power and how do we build it? An explainer with
Maurice Mitchell

"If we are able to look to one another, especially across
difference—across race, across ethnicity, across gender, across
neighborhoods in your city—the potential for collective power is almost
endless because there's millions, there's billions of us." — Maurice
Mitchell

Myth #2: Racial justice movements should give up on the government.

Eric K Ward

"It's our turn to show that a multiracial, inclusive democracy can work,
but to show that, it means we have to be in governance." — Eric K. Ward

Education: Democracy's Battleground?

[link removed]

"The Daughters of the Confederacy… targeted the education system. They
literally went from local school district to local school district,
finding any texts, any books that they found objectionable, and seeking
to replace them with this lie [that the Civil War was not about
slavery]. Because they knew that what people learned ultimately set them
up for this frame for understanding both history and the nation." —
James E. Ford, PhD
