** Race + Power Weekly
------------------------------------------------------------

This Race + Power Weekly is about contesting narratives to build democratic power for social and policy change. Our first article reflects on a must-see webinar hosted by NPQ Fellow, Shanelle Matthews: NPQ editor, Kitana Ananda, on how movements for racial, gender, and economic justice are grappling with the rise of disinformation and misinformation. Next, Trevor Smith and Jhumpa Bhattacharya discuss the role of anti-Black narratives in policymaking—and the need to disrupt and change these narratives to achieve reparations for Black Americans and economic liberation for all. Then, two pieces from Matthews: first, on developing symbolic resources and power to ensure Black women and girls’ safety; the second, on the challenges of making nonprofit infrastructure pro-Black.
