In this moment we must build collective power and strategy to root out
systemic racism, to challenge and put an end to political violence and
the rapid march towards white authoritarianism. The opportunity to come
together takes place in four months.

Here are our announced breakout session themes:
[link removed]
Narrative Arts and Culture
This track allows expansive space for storytellers, artists,
journalists, strategic communicators, media makers, and
movement-builders to explore how written and spoken word, image, and
movement are used to shine light on the human impacts of systemic
oppression and illuminate potential paths forward to a racially
equitable society.
Institutional and Sectoral Change
This track is a place for practitioners from a variety of sectors
getting real about transforming our institutions to dismantle structural
racism and generate racially equitable outcomes. Sessions will highlight
how people are working their organizations and sectors to normalize,
organize for, and operationalize racial equity in their institutions.
Movement and Community Driven Solutions
Black, Indigenous, people of color, and migrant of color communities
should be positioned as leaders, owners, and decision-makers at the
center of our movement for conditions that impact our lives. This track
explores strategies that support cross-sectoral organizing, demonstrates
community accountability, highlights policy solutions that lead to more
equitable outcomes, and celebrates the efforts and victories of
grassroots organizing.
Race Identities and Innovations
Racial identities shape our personal experiences, our community
boundaries, our political movements, and our political ideas and
visions. This track is for workshops that teach and explore the
complexity of racial identities, their constant renewal and change, and
their uses for racial justice organizing.
Facing Race
[link removed]
will be taking place just weeks after the 2022 midterm election, and
with the national events we've witnessed over the past couple of months,
this will be yet another critical election for the true multicultural
democracy we envision and are working toward. Register and join us this
November

to help chart the path for the future of the racial justice movement.

[Read] Juneteenth: A First Step in the Long Work
[link removed]
In a new blog post from GARE, Juneteenth: A First Step in the Long Work
of Atonement
[link removed]
GARE leadership and members reflect on the cultural recognition of
Juneteenth as a federal holiday, and its connection to material change
for Black communities.
Reflections also include the joys of the holiday, the resurgent threats
to it, all the progress made toward it, and the work that is still to be
done.

" Everything, Everywhere, All At Once
[link removed]
has my attention as I grapple with how to think outside of my own sense
of what is possible in this political moment and creative ways to
"fight". The movie illustrates for me a restorative medicine that has
been my focus recently - play. I'm seeing myself in all the family
members and thinking about how their access to power from the other
universes is getting off normal scripts and collaging empowering
narrative out of the meaningless chaos."
