Dear John,

As momentum for racial equity grows, legal and political challenges continue to shape the landscape. With recent court rulings and increasing opposition to diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, many organizations are looking for guidance on how to move forward effectively and responsibly.

These questions should be top-of-mind:

• What has been the impact of recent executive orders on advancing racial equity?
  
  
• How might the Dismantle DEI Act evolve, and what are its implications for civil rights protections?
  
  
• In what ways is technology being leveraged today to reinforce systemic racism, and how does this compare to the tactics of the Jim Crow era?
  
  
• Where do you currently see yourself in this work, and how do you hope to be more engaged moving forward?

Join Race Forward’s Federal Initiative to Govern for Racial Equity (FIRE) for a critical conversation.
