Dear John,
[link removed]
Facing Race 2022 was one of our most successful conferences to date with
more than 4,000 attendees joining us in-person and online!
In the backdrop of the historic 2022 midterm elections (and in the face
of the still ongoing pandemic) people from across the nation joined us
to build collective power and to take on systemic racism head-on. We
want to send a very special and warm thank you to all attendees who took
the time to participate.
There was much to celebrate and lift up during the three-day event. From
Ibram X. Kendi's rousing keynote speech

We also want to thank Racial Justice Reads and Race Flicks for their
participation, as well as the Phoenix Host Committee, GLOW Global
events, and our key sponsors: the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation,
Open Society Foundations, GEICO, The Kresge Foundation, YWCA
Metropolitan Phoenix, and the City of Phoenix Office of Arts and
Culture.
For conference attendees, please be sure to fill out the conference
survey to help us make Facing Race the best experience possible in the
future!
