Dear Friend,
Race Forward is proud to announce that it will distribute $1 million to thirteen community racial justice organizations from across the country. Of the $1 million, $52,000 will be allocated to groups within Race Forward’s #RaceAnd: Our Present, Our Future host committee in celebration and support of the innovative, intergenerational, and intersectional work taking place at the forefront of the racial justice movement.
“We are honored to be able to contribute to these grassroots organizations doing incredible and necessary work to advance racial justice during this critical, unprecedented moment in history,” said Glenn Harris, President of Race Forward and Publisher of Colorlines. “Each organization is unequivocally committed to reimagining a future where people of color thrive, and we are excited to support them in their efforts to build a more just world for generations to come.”
The contributions are the result of the generous donations Race Forward received during 2020 due to an increased number of individuals and organizations realizing the importance of working toward racial justice in the wake of the murder of George Floyd.
Among the organizations receiving contributions are:
- Action St. Louis (St. Louis, MO)
- Anti-Police Terror Project (Sacramento, CA)
- Assata’s Daughters (Chicago, IL)
- Brooklyn Movement Center (Brooklyn, NY)
- Black Organizing Project (Oakland, CA)
- Black Leadership and Organizing Collective (North Carolina)
- Black Swan Academy (Washington, D.C.)
- Carolina Youth Action Project (South Carolina)
- Communities of Color United (Austin, TX)
- Generation Justice (Albuquerque, NM)
- Good Kids Mad City (Chicago, IL)
- Refund Raleigh (Raleigh, NC)
- Women on the Rise GA (Atlanta, GA)
