Dear John,

In moments of uncertainty, it’s easy to feel like progress is out of reach. But it’s necessary for all of us to find moments of light and hope so that we have the strength to continue building strategies and organizing within our communities. While this might feel futile, especially in these past few weeks, it’s this rigor that holds power and will ultimately get us on the path to a future we believe in. We know, together, we can resist the authoritarian right and continue pushing toward a racially just democracy that serves all people. 

At this moment, many are asking themselves: 

Where are my hands most needed? 

What needle do I have the capacity to move? 

What do I bring to the table that others may not? 

While these answers are personal to each of us, we know that racial justice sits at the core of your values. You’ve been with us through the highs and the lows of this work. Today we implore you to stay with us as Race Forward stands strong for the rights of all communities of color.

Here’s how you can help:

1. Make a one-time donation or become a recurring donor to sustain Race Forward’s ongoing work.
2. Sharpen your own skills through our expanded training series, especially Power Building for Racial Equity. 
3. Focus your energy on the crucial drivers of racial equity, whether that be: protecting public education, ensuring housing and land justice for all, building governing power, or finding a way towards climate justice.

Whatever you choose, your support directly helps us build a future rooted in racial justice for all – regardless of who attempts to stand in our way. 

In Solidarity, 

Race Forward
