Dear Friend, 

Even as Derek Chauvin was convicted of the murder of George Floyd, an Ohio police officer shot and killed Ma’Khia Bryant, a Black teenager―denying us the opportunity to fully celebrate the guilty verdict. This shooting was yet another painful, enraging reminder that our collective work to end oppressive systems must continue.

Gain the tools you need to talk about race constructively, counteract racial biases, and apply strategies to advance racial equity by attending our two-part training: Building Racial Equity (BRE) and Organizing Racial Equity: Shifting Power (ORE).

The Building Racial Equity series, developed by Race Forward, are interactive trainings for those who wish to challenge and change institutional racial inequities. This training will introduce participants to concepts, frames, and tools essential to a productive racial equity practice. Participants will build on and strengthen racial equity practices for themselves, their organization, and their networks.

Organizing Racial Equity: Shifting Power is the second training of the series. This training will strengthen participants' collective analysis of power while providing useful tools and framework to shift power within groups, institutions and other formations seeking to advance racial justice in this time.

In Solidarity,

Race Forward’s BRE Team
