Dear John,
Allow me to be direct: I'm emailing you today to ask for your financial
support of Facing Race
[link removed]
. As a non-profit, Race Forward is only able to bring the country's
largest racial justice convening to fruition with the financial support
of our community.
WHY FACING RACE? Our moment is now. We know that issues of race,
poverty, and gender have been intentionally weaponized to sow
division—with Black people, Indigenous people, and all communities of
color bearing the brunt of the impact. But we, the racial and social
justice community, have the resilience and power to alter our country's
course by countering oppression and, instead, building an equitable
future for all communities of color. Facing Race

is a home for all of us in the movement looking for collaboration,
networking opportunities, research, best practices, and professional
development. We need this space and each other, as backlash against
racial equity gains is growing and this work will only get harder.
Your Support Makes A Difference

FOR THE MOVEMENT. For over forty years, Race Forward has been catalyzing
movement building, with the goal of creating a just, multiracial,
democratic society–one where people of color thrive with power and
purpose, free from exploitation and oppression. Facing Race has been
shining a light on the most pressing racial justice issues and
highlighting best practices for justice and equity work since 2004. We
know from experience that when the movement comes together, we see wins
and make deeper progress in our individual and collective communities.
FOR THE PEOPLE. Since 2004, our biennial convening has welcomed nearly
15,000 people into space at Facing Race. Organizers, academics,
educators, equity practitioners, students, politicians, community
members, and artists; coming from for-profit and non-profit sectors,
representing organizations of all sizes.
FOR THE FUTURE. We continue to grow alongside the movement. Your
generosity of our 2022 event supports a truly transformative 3-day
experience, providing access to four different workshop tracks:
Institutional & Sectoral Change, Movement & Community Driven Solutions,
Narrative Arts & Culture, and Racial Identities & Innovation.
FOR DEMOCRACY. A just and equitable society isn't possible without a
functional democracy, and we cannot make that happen without everyone at
the table. Race Forward's vision represents a community-driven and
publicly-anchored model for our future. Facing Race is the space where
everyone's tables intersect and we can best elevate our collective
power.

In strength and solidarity,
