THE FIGHT FOR EQUALITY INCLUDES ALL OF US
Since 1981, Race Forward has worked to give a voice to the disenfranchised, oppressed, and all minorities from all races, ethnicities, and diverse backgrounds.
Race Forward also houses the Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE), a coalition of several local governments that work towards achieving racial equality.
Race Forward is also the publisher of the daily news site, Colorlines, and the proud presenter of Facing Race, the nation's largest multiracial conference on racial justice.
