With this year's theme of Bridging, we invite you to practice the art of connecting with intention. Practice the art of Bridging; Traverse every challenge by leaning on the strength of our history, while reaching towards a future with true democracy, community care, and sustainable harmony.

The great orator and leader simply stated “Let’s build bridges, not walls”. He spent his life advocating for the breakdown of walls and barriers. Walls of discrimination, division, and disparity. Dr. King knew that walls are symbolic of fear and ignorance, whereas bridges represented understanding and coming together. He was a living bridge, an embodiment of hope. Every day, in every action, we should build bridges of inclusion that radically restructure our society. The bridges we build should heal, provide resources, and withstand the rampant storms of supremacy. At times they may sway but they should never collapse under pressure.

This year’s keynote speaker, Steve Phillips exemplifies this message through his work. He is the author of The New York Times bestseller Brown Is the New White: How the Demographic Revolution Has Created a New American Majority and the forthcoming book How We Win the Civil War: Securing a Multiracial Democracy and Ending White Supremacy for Good, due out in October 2022.
Steve is a columnist for The Guardian and The Nation, and an opinion contributor to The New York Times. He is the host of “Democracy in Color with Steve Phillips,” a color-conscious podcast on politics. He is also the founder of Democracy in Color, a political media organization dedicated to race, politics and the multicultural progressive New American Majority.
Listen to Steve Phillips speak about how we can create bridges within our communities at the 35th Annual All Peoples Celebration by purchasing your tickets today. |
On behalf of all of us at Alliance San Diego, thank you for your continued commitment to making San Diego a more inclusive community. In solidarity and struggle, Miesha Rice Advancement Director Alliance San Diego |
