 Dear Friend,
Race Forward is proud to announce climate activist and racial justice advocate Isra Hirsi as the keynote speaker for #RaceAnd: Our Present Our Future Conference taking place virtually Saturday, September 25, 2021. She is a co-founder and co-executive director of the United States Youth Climate Strike, and the daughter of U.S Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. She is a shining example that young people of color are leading the transformation to a better world.
#RaceAnd: Our Present, Our Future, is Race Forward’s first intergenerational event of its kind. This event is being designed by youth and young adult activists and will highlight the critical role they play as activists and advocates using organizing, art, cultural, narrative, and policy strategies strike powerful blows to structural racism in the United States and continue the global movement to defend Black Lives.
Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in thought-provoking and solutions-driven intergenerational dialogues during breakout sessions focusing on:
- The History of Youth Organizing
- Decision Maker Teach-In
- Media Justice
- Organizing Skillshare
- Youth Experiences in 2020 Uprisings
- Racial Justice Intersections
