Dear Friend,
Next month, Race Forward will present #RaceAnd: Our Present, Our Future, Race Forward’s first intergenerational event of its kind on Saturday, September 25th. This dynamic event has been designed by youth and young adult activists and will highlight the critical role they play using organizing, art, cultural, narrative, and policy strategies to strike powerful blows to structural racism in the United States. During the conference, seasoned activists will work alongside youth activists to develop strategies for continuing the global movement to defend Black Lives.
KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Isra Hirsi, co-founder and co-executive director of the United States Youth Climate Strike, and the daughter of U.S Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. Isra is a leading climate justice activist working at the forefront of building power to positively impact our world.
