Dear John,

I want to take a moment to thank you for your support of Race Forward
and the racial justice movement. Your continued presence means the world
to us, and in times like these, it's a reminder we are not in this fight
alone. Our work to advance racial equity extends far beyond the staff of
this organization, or our immediate partners–it's a movement that
includes you.

Though this year has been difficult, we find strength in knowing that
you stand with us. When we stand together we build power, and our power
has the ability to change the world.

Right now, we are facing a direct and dangerous attempt to dismantle the
progress we have made. In recent months, we've seen attacks on
immigrants, LGBTQ+ communities, labor rights, and the core values of
diversity, equity, and inclusion. Government institutions that serve our
communities and policies designed to uphold civil rights are under
threat. The playbook of authoritarianism is unfolding before us, and our
single option is clear: we must meet this moment with courage and
action.

Those in power want us to believe we are powerless against them, but we
are not. In fact, our power comes from our shared struggle and
solidarity. History has shown us that when communities come together,
when we refuse to be silenced, when we organize and push forward with a
bold vision, when we hold firm to our values, real change happens.

At Race Forward, we're meeting this moment head-on.

We are working alongside local leaders to protect racial equity in
government, lifting up the stories that define our communities, and
standing with educators to ensure that public schools remain strong, and
that we preserve our nation's history.

Your role in this movement remains critical. The support you provide
strengthens everything we do. It helps us build resilience not just to
defend what we have gained, but to continually reimagine what justice
can look like for future generations.

That's why I'm asking you to stand with us today in one powerful way.

and help us push back against these attacks with the strength and vision
this moment demands. Your contribution, no matter the size, is a
powerful statement. It says that you believe in a just, multiracial
democracy. It says that you are part of this movement. And most
importantly, it says that there is a path forward, and you're walking it
with us.

Thank you for being in our corner. The road ahead will not be easy, but
I have no doubt–we are in this together, and together, we will win.
