Race Forward

Through systemic analysis and an innovative approach to complex race issues, Race Forward helps people take effective action toward racial equity.

Race Forward works across communities most affected by systemic racism to build collective power for racial equity and presents the biennial Facing Race conference, the country’s largest multiracial conference on racial justice.

We also house the Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE), a network of local, regional, and state government jurisdictions across the country working to achieve racial equity in their policies and practices; and Colorlines, a multimedia political home for everyday activists seeking to deepen our understanding of the societal structures that govern our lives and to connect with others to build the movement power needed to actualize a just multiracial democracy.
