Our spirits are still empowered one week removed from #JustNarratives our first-ever geared towards narrative change. Together, over 450 attendees developed narrative strategies, skillsets, and tactics to ignite our path towards a multiracial democracy.

This is what solidarity looks like.
Even in these uncertain times, we continue our work toward a vision of a multiracial democracy where all people, regardless of race, gender, gender identity, economic status, and abilities can thrive.

Show up for racial equity. Your gift drives lasting impact.

Taiwan’s democracy is thriving. Not despite threats, but because they’ve built something remarkable: a whole-of-society defense system run by citizens, not soldiers.

We’re still reflecting on the memories made at #JustNarratives last week in St. Louis. Day 1 was one for the books with pre-con sessions covering policy innovation, place-based strategies, and narrative change training.

This is what solidarity looks like.

Our colleagues Maria Sennett, Francis Janes, Anil Awasti, and Elsie Rowell joined @raceforward.org's Just Narratives Convening, where speakers like Alok Vaid-Menon urged creating liberatory spaces. We’re energized to keep co-creating them, rooted in dignity and repair, within the banking system.
