Dear John,
Another year is almost gone. A year filled with seemingly endless
challenges, struggles, and obstacles. And yet Race Forward continues to
thrive, fueled in part by the hope and resilience of our community.
That's you. Our work is deeply impacted by your love and solidarity,
your attendance to our events, your generosity of time and resources,
your engagement with our tools and trainings, your likes and shares on
social media, and your commitment to our shared vision for a just,
multiracial democracy.
But let me be clear, this work is hard. And Race Forward continues in
the fight for racial justice thanks to the skills, passion, resilience,
and brilliance of our dedicated staff. They are the spark that ignites
the internal flame of justice that we're spreading from coast to coast.
Amid all your year-end emails, events, and plans — I invite you to pause
for a moment of reflection with a few of my esteemed colleagues as they
answer the question: What are you thankful for?
"I'm grateful to be able to work for an organization that centers people
and the needs of all people. I couldn't imagine working anywhere else as
the chaos of the world unfolds."

"I'm thankful for my parents and family being healthy and well, my
comrades on the streets and around my dining table, my local library, my
neighbour's dog chasing rabbits, and the ways in which my community
models loving revolution for me."

"I woke this morning in a home of my own, heated by energy that was
summoned at the touch of a button, and warmed by the love of my life's
companionship. I took breakfast from a fully-stocked refrigerator, and
ate while watching a beautiful sunrise. I've got what I need. No matter
what else happens today, I'm grateful."
