From his most recent attack on Rep. Elijah Cummings and the Baltimore
community to the vile "send her back" chants
[link removed]
targeted at Rep. Ilhan Omar, and the other three progressive
congresswomen of color, President Trump's racist, xenophobic statements
endanger people of color, devolve our national discourse, and puts in
peril the progress and hope for a multi-racial democracy.
At this critical moment, in this urgent time, Race Forward
[link removed]
, now more than ever, is steadfast and committed to building strategies
to advance racial justice in our policies, institutions, and culture,
and we won't go back. We press forward by publishing Colorlines

, which features news and analysis produced by a multiracial team of
writers covering stories such as the congresswomen's defiant response

Race Forward's Philanthropy Project Director, Michele Kumi Baer is
quoted in this Inside Philanthropy's article
[link removed]
addressing changes needed within the philanthropic sector to address
structural racism. Michele says, "There has been a noticeable shift in
philanthropic sector conversations—more focus on racial equity at
conferences, gatherings, meetings…" and recommends Deepa Iyer's tools
[link removed]
on "solidarity practice" and allyship.
Hip-Hop artist, actor, and philanthropist Common, shared this Colorlines
[link removed]
article on how to help immigrant children as part of a thread
[link removed]
that sheds light on the abhorrent conditions that migrant children are
living in at detention facilities at the border. The article amplified
strategies and solutions, including donating to advocacy groups,
reporting and documenting immigration raids, and holding candidates
accountable to address these conditions and violations of human rights.

" Ava DuVernay

is magnificent and Queen Sugar
[link removed]
is captivating with all of the twists and turns of the Bordelon family –
including the struggle with racism in rural Louisiana as the Bordelons
try to fulfill the late patriarch's dream of having a successful sugar
cane farm. All this while the family tries to stay united, but society
finds ways to try and divide the family with drama based on past
mistakes and challenges ."
