Join us for the Cultural Week of Action on Race and Democracy!! This is an opportunity to deepen commitments to racial justice and inclusive democracy through cultural activities. Here’s how you can organize an event in your community or participate in the national anchor event:
Watch our Webinar on Race and Democracy and host your own conversation
The national webinar is a heartbeat of the Cultural Week of Action—bringing together artists, storytellers, and cultural strategists to share bold visions, creative resistance, and the power of narrative to move us forward.
But this isn’t just a broadcast—it’s a spark. Across the country, people will gather in living rooms, libraries, workplaces, and community spaces to tune in, talk it out, and imagine a democracy that truly belongs to all of us.
Race Forward will provide a discussion guide to help shape meaningful conversations—whether with friends, coworkers, or neighbors. Every conversation is a building block. Every gathering adds to the growing story of “We the People.”
The webinar airs on Wednesday, October 2 at 6pm ET / 5pm CT / 3pm PT.
Discussion and organizing materials coming soon.

- share lessons and best practices from the field;
