As we step into 2025, the urgency to confront systemic racism and build a more equitable future has never been clearer. Starting the year in a shared learning space offers an opportunity to deepen our understanding, connect with others committed to change, and take meaningful steps toward racial equity.

At Race Forward, we believe that being race-explicit is key to addressing the root causes of injustice. Our trainings provide the tools, frameworks, and strategies to challenge inequities and create transformative change in your organization and community.
