Dear John,
We are only 36 days away from the start of our 4th Biennial Race and Power in America Summit: The Fight for the Future of Democracy. In our 2015 Race and Power Summit, we declared that one of the pathways we would follow in order to secure the “Beloved Community” was to “build people’s control of government.” We were clear then that institutions and structures of government were in trouble and that we would need to focus on transforming both if we were to move real decision-making into the hands of those most impacted.
This year’s Race and Power Summit comes at a pivotal time. The events of the last two years demonstrate that our democracy is in crisis, and the acrimony, blatant racism, and potentially violent outcomes of this election season reinforce the need for us to double down on our efforts to build people’s control of government.
I urge you, if you have not yet registered to participate in the Summit, that you do so immediately. We have a powerful agenda planned. Learn more about the agenda here. [Agenda] [[link removed]]
