Overview
Race Forward’s mission is to build awareness, solutions, and leadership for racial justice by generating transformative ideas, information, and experiences. One way the organization does this is by organizing leaders to move policy with a racial justice lens through the 52-member Government Alliance on Race and Equity. Community conversations are also a chief concern of the organization. In addition to the daily news site Colorlines; Race Forward produces the biennial Facing Race National Conference. Based in Oakland California, Race Forward recently merged with New York based, Center for Social Inclusion. We anticipate this grant will help the organization merge across geographic and tactic areas.
