What started in 1926 as Black History Week has evolved over time into a month-long celebration spanning 100 years. This Black History Month, let’s all remember the strides Black people have made in American history and the history still to be made to achieve a just, multi-racial society.

Banks, landlords, insurers and tenant-screening companies shouldn’t be able to dodge responsibility for discriminatory outcomes. Sign on to join us and @aforhj.org in defending disparate impact ⤵️ actionnetwork.org/petitions/protect-di

BACK TO BLACK 2026 STARTS THURSDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! @blackinaflash.bsky.social

Today, Minneapolis residents and leaders are calling a nationwide general strike in response to killings, intimidation, and terror carried out under Trump administration policies.

Over the weekend, 75,000 Minnesotans from every walk of life marched and over 1,000 businesses shut down to demand ICE and the regime end their campaign of abductions and killings. Minnesotans across races, faiths, and genders, are demonstrating that the #BraveOfUs stand with and for each other.

You know it's event season when the banners are up!!! We are so excited to raise money for @raceforward.org next week!

MarsDouze is on now playing the Knuckles stages of Sonic Adventure 2: Battle which is just one part of the BID WAR we got on deck for BtB! Your donations to @raceforward.org will decide if he plays Knuckles or Rouge stages next week!

Fully funded public schools that unite communities make it harder to divide us, and that is exactly why they are under attack. Race Forward President Glenn Harris explains what makes public schools such a big threat to people in power.

While threats to the United States’ multi-racial democracy are unyielding, Race Forward honors Martin Luther King’s legacy and urge the public to follow in his steps. Despite these tumultuous times, Race Forward joins the world reflecting on the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr.

“I am deeply honored to join an organization that not only champions racial equity in the world but models it within its own walls." Race Forward is pleased to welcome Ritha Pierre as its new general counsel. Pierre will provide strategic legal advice and guidance to the organization.

2025 was a challenge. But at Race Forward, we know our work remains imperative for America to become a just, democratic society. In 2026, let's continue to build together so that people of color can live, work, and govern with purpose and power.

Through the Policy Innovation Lab, Race Forward supports community-led policy development by providing tools and capacity-building training for local organizations. Your donations empower groups like @yuccanm.bsky.social an organizing collective fighting for environmental justice in New Mexico.

2025 wasn’t calm. It wasn’t quiet. Workers rose up and SEIU didn’t back down. We defended our communities. We built power under pressure. Hit play and see what a movement in motion looks like. 🔥

Did you know that donations to Race Forward help local communities build governing power? In Monterey County, California, our Place-Based Strategies program has provided support by convening resident and local government leaders to address local racialized violence and economic tensions.

In a time of uncertainty and change, learning remains one of the most powerful acts we can take. This year, Race Forward’s public trainings continued to be a space where racial justice champions from organizations at any stage in their racial equity journey came to gain skills, tools, & confidence.
