Dear Friend,
In just two weeks , on Saturday September 25th, Race Forward will
present #RaceAnd: Our Present, Our Future

, Race Forward's first intergenerational event of its kind. 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.
Important update: Tickets are available at early bird prices and we have
a limited number of scholarships available for youth who are organizers
