Since the 2024 elections, the urgency of confronting systemic inequities couldn’t be more important. In today’s Race + Power newsletter, we underline the power of local organizing and coalition building to dismantle harmful entrenched narratives. First, the election revealed the continued primacy of Whiteness in US society. Progressive leaders must work to dismantle the myths that sustain Whiteness over justice. Next, held soon after the presidential election, Facing Race—the largest multiracial, multigenerational conference in the country—emphasized local organizing and building coalitions to uplift racial justice. Then, as the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) rises, so, too, do the risks of perpetuating historical injustice and harming marginalized communities. Nonprofit leaders play a vital role in transforming AI into a tool for justice and empowerment. Finally, we want to hear from you about the way forward. We’re inviting nonprofit workers to share their experiences in a paid focus group to help us better serve the sector.
