This week’s Race + Power newsletter explores the meaning of solidarity in nonprofits with professed commitments to racial justice. First, we feature an article by Kitana Ananda on the racial politics of the US civil society’s rush to show solidarity with Ukraine—and why we must do better when it comes to talking about and organizing against war. Next, Cyndi Suarez considers responses to her piece on the all-too-prevalent practice of “leeching” in racial justice work. Moving from leeching to solidarity in racial justice work, Debby Warren discusses a workshop series training white women to interrupt white supremacy. And finally, Suarez examines the organizing effect of race in the US polity and the need for new narratives to deepen democracy.
