Dear John,
We are witnessing a coordinated effort to turn back progress —to erase
history, to limit conversations about race, and to weaken policies that
advance racial justice. But we know that this moment is not new.
Throughout history, resistance has been rooted in knowledge, collective
power, and the courage to keep going. Our trainings create the space for
you to sharpen your racial equity practice, connect with others in the
movement, and build the skills needed to counter injustice.
But don't just take our word for it. Here's what participants from last
month's training had to say:
"[The trainers] were the best, really. They were full of grace, they
were sweet, they were passionate, and they just knew how to facilitate
this training for everyone at all levels of their racial equity journey.
I learned so much."
Our trainings are designed to be engaging, dynamic, and accessible for
all learners—whether you're leading racial equity work in your
organization or just starting to explore these concepts.

Power Building for Racial Equity (PRE)
Next session — April 29
The Power Building for Racial Equity (PRE) workshop dives into how power
shapes both systemic racism and the path toward racial justice. While
systemic racism operates through hierarchical and oppressive power,
achieving racial justice requires building power that is inclusive,
collective, and liberatory. This workshop offers a space to explore how
to transform power structures in your racial justice work, both within
organizations and in the wider community, equipping you with insights,
strategies, and tools to drive intentional, just change.

The urgency of this moment is undeniable. Every day, we see challenges
to racial equity—and every day, we have a choice: to stay the course or
to push forward with intention, knowledge, and power. These trainings
give you the tools to act boldly, think critically, and disrupt the
status quo.
Don't wait for change—be the force that drives it.
In solidarity,
Ashley Johnson
Training Innovation Manager
