John,

It's a tense moment in our nation. We understand, and we're feeling it
too. Regardless of the eventual outcome of the presidential election,
it'll also be a defining starting point for our movements.
Today is the FINAL day to register for Facing Race: A National Virtual
Conference
[link removed]
The Race Forward staff has been working tirelessly to prepare Facing
Race: A National Virtual Conference
[link removed]
to meet the moment. Since 2008, Facing Race
[link removed]
has convened racial justice practitioners after both presidential and
midterm elections and brought together the broadest coalition possible
for the largest intergenerational, multiracial conference in the United
States.
This year, from November 10-12th, Facing Race
[link removed]
will feature more than 100 inspiring community leaders from across the
country, presenting workshops, panels, breakout sessions, film
screenings, and networking opportunities. While attending the
conference, be sure to use the hashtag #FacingRace to share your
experience via social media.

, president and senior lecturer of Repairs of the Breach and co-chair of
the Poor People's Campaign. Dr. Reverend Barber is the architect of the
Moral Mondays

protests in North Carolina, which in turn have inspired actions across
the nation for a principled public policy agenda centering on the needs
of poor people, and people of color. The Reverend is recognized as one
of the leading voices for racial justice –– and during this historic
turning point in our nation's history, we look to his experience,
leadership, and wisdom.

Race Flicks –– Watch and then join the conversation!
[link removed]
Then on November 12th join us for an important Q&A session with the
filmmakers of the Race Flicks
[link removed]
portion of the conference. This year's Race Flicks program
[link removed]
maintains a focus on accountable filmmaking that truly represents the
people and places featured and holds great potential to build power
among those represented in the stories. During the conference you'll
have the opportunity to check out the seven movies and documentaries
featured.
We'll also have other great virtual interactive features at Facing Race,
which include:
The Facing Race (Virtual) Exhibition Hall
Visit the Exhibit Hall to support businesses and organizations led by
people of color. This year, we reaffirm our commitment and partner with
vendor entities that are owned, operated, or serve people of color,
indigenous people, tribal nations, and people who are trans-identified
or non-binary. Vendors will include The Homegirl Box
[link removed]
and Zenit Journals
[link removed]
, amongst many others.
Wellness Space
We invite attendees to take breaks during the conference to access The
Well, presented by the Acorn Center for Restoration and Freedom
[link removed]
. Rooted in Black Diasporic tradition, The Well puts healing at the
center of justice by creating opportunities for individuals,
communities, collectives, and movements to integrate healing practices
to help replenish, restore, and be sustainable.
Again, we understand what a tense moment this is. But this is also the
moment where it's more important than ever to ground ourselves, stand in
solidarity, and build the collective power needed to sustain our
movements for the upcoming fight.
In Solidarity,
The Facing Race Team
