Dear John,
Race Forward's Butterfly Lab for Immigrant Narrative Strategy has been
off to an exciting start this year! Here's what we've been up to.
We are thrilled to announce our Chrysalis Lab grantees
[link removed]
. The response to the Lab was overwhelming: there were nearly 100
applicants whose work spanned a multitude of forms, narratives,
audiences and time horizons. Our four grantees are launching projects to
test innovative narratives that advance support for immigration, at
scale.
The awardees are:
Karim Ahmad , for a worldbuilding and story lab to transform monolithic
perceptions of Muslim immigrants
Intelligent Mischief , for a Black migrant futures design lab and
immersive multi-platform experience
Omar Offendum , for Little Syria, a musical theater experience
Tennessee Immigrant Rights Coalition , for deep canvassing to increase
support for refugee resettlement.
Glenn Harris, President of Race Forward and Publisher of Colorlines,
stated, "We are honored to support these organizations in their
narrative work at such a pivotal moment in the immigrant justice
movement, and w e are excited the Chrysalis Lab projects will speak to a
variety of people to advance immigrant justice in transformative ways."
Taryn Higashi, Executive Director of Unbound Philanthropy, said, "The
Chrysalis Lab grantees' projects are creative, innovative, and
strategic. We are excited to see these projects unfold, and to share
their learnings with the broader immigrant justice movement and all
movements working for an inclusive, multi-racial democracy."
