Building Narrative Power for Solidarity: Lessons from Just Narratives on Ecosystem and Infrastructure
Solidarity connects our struggles and aspirations across communities to build the power necessary for transformative, equitable change.
Race Forward held the first Just Narratives for Multiracial Solidarity from November 13 to 15, 2025. As the anchor event for the 2025 Cultural Week of Action, Just Narratives convened strategists, communicators, creatives, storytellers, racial justice advocates, and movement builders in St. Louis, Missouri.
Over 400 people from across the racial justice movement ecosystem attended and participated in four plenaries, 36 breakouts, art activations, performances, a fashion exhibit, film showing, and crochet circles. Attendees co-facilitated and participated in our version of a Peoples’ Movement Assembly, a methodology and practice for sharpening our collective analysis of the political moment with pathways to strategic, coordinated action.
This report shares findings from the convening with calls to action for building multiracial solidarity.
