States has marked a defining moment in the fight for racial justice.

Glenn Harris, President of Race Forward, and Eric Ward, Executive Vice
President, deliver a powerful analysis of the administration's actions
in its early days and their implications for racial justice. As
executive orders reshape federal policy and threaten hard-won progress,
they provide both stark warnings and hope-filled strategies for
defending a multiracial democracy. Drawing from historical context and
firsthand organizing experience, they outline strategies for fortifying
movements, disrupting regressive policies, and sustaining resilience in
the face of uncertainty. Their insights reinforce a crucial message:
unity, strategic action, and unwavering commitment are essential to
preserving progress.
Glenn and Eric break down the immediate impacts of new policies on
vulnerable communities, share battle-tested strategies for protecting
racial justice gains, and provide concrete tools for building collective
power and resilience. Whether you're a seasoned activist or new to
racial justice work, this discussion offers crucial insights for
understanding and responding to today's unprecedented challenges.
