Dear John,

Every day brings a new assault on our communities. Executive orders targeting immigrants. Policies criminalizing our existence. Memos undermining our constitutional rights. Attacks on civil servants who serve our communities. This constant barrage leaves many of us feeling exhausted, anxious, and isolated in our struggles.

Yet throughout history, in moments like these, communities of color and racial justice advocates have always known where our power lies: in the stories we tell, the solidarity we build, the resilience we maintain, and the futures we dare to imagine together.

When anti-immigrant laws threaten to splinter our communities, we stand together with our neighbors.

When the very existence of transgender people is under attack, we unite to protect our LGBTQIA+ family.

When racist policies target Arab Americans, we rise together boldly to affirm their humanity.

When executive orders target the very citizenship of Black and brown people, we remind them of who actually made this country great.

This is the power of multiracial and cross-sectoral solidarity—the strength of our collective voices and stories!

In a time when opposition forces work relentlessly to divide us, Race Forward is proud to announce and host Just Narratives for Multiracial Solidarity on November 13–15, 2025, in St. Louis, MO.

What is Just Narratives?

It's a multi-day gathering bringing together narrative strategists, grassroots organizers, cultural workers, artists, media makers, storytellers, and policy advocates from across our movements. This convening will serve as the anchor event for the 2025 Cultural Week of Action. Together, we'll align our strategies for racial justice, multiracial solidarity, and collaborative governance.

Just Narratives is more than a conference—it's a gathering of minds and talents, a forging of bonds across movements, and a powerful reminder that our stories for racial justice can turn fear into power, isolation into solidarity, and crisis into opportunity.
