Hi John, If your feed is anything like mine, every hour lands with a thud with attacks on inclusion and belonging, rulings that harden old lines, headlines that make the room feel smaller. You’re not imagining it. The air is heavy. It’s time for a path upwards.
So, at Race Forward we’re excited to be presenting the Cultural Week of Action on Race and Democracy < [link removed] > , November 8-16. Across cities, towns, and virtual spaces, communities will come alive through music, storytelling, movement, and collective learning.
To kickstart this week-long series of activities, we're creating a different kind of hour. An hour that remembers who we are to one another. An hour where music, poetry, and image make room to breathe. An hour that doesn’t demand everything and instead just offers a way to do one thing that matters at home, at work, in community, and with local government when Race Forward’s Cultural Week of Action arrives this November.
No anxiety to endure. Just clear steps, a little light, and the sense that you’re not carrying this by yourself.

Inside the hour:
- Brief, live culture moments and discussions that land in the heart first—including Gangstagrass < [link removed] >
- A keynote you'll feel: Patrisse Cullors < [link removed] > , author and activist
- Four simple pathways—home, workplace, community, City Hall
- A map where these moments gather, so no one is building alone
Join us October 2! < [link removed] >
What this is (and isn’t): A nonpartisan, public hour grounded in art, truth, and practical steps toward a just, multiracial democracy. No partisan endorsements. Just community, clarity, and next moves that fit your life.
You won’t be asked to do more than you can. You’ll leave with exactly enough: a small plan, a date, and the feeling that the “we” in We the People < [link removed] > includes you.
With care and solidarity,
Eric K. Ward
Executive Vice President
Race Forward
P.S.:If this lands with you, you probably know who else needs the same breath right now.
