ONE WEEK UNTIL FACING RACE!

Facing Race, the largest multiracial, intergenerational gathering for organizers, educators, creatives, and other leaders will be taking place next week with thousands of people attending in-person and online November 17-19.

Coming after the recent midterm elections, organizers, educators, creatives, and other leaders will be gathering to build collective power and strategy to root out systemic racism, and challenge and put an end to political violence and the rapid march towards white authoritarianism. 

Though in-person registration is sold out –– we’re excited for you to join us online! 

Online attendees will have access to all plenaries, mainstage events, Race Flicks, online exhibit areas, and 35 breakout sessions!
