Defining Our Next 250 Years: The DemocracyIs: Campaign
Race Forward is proud to launch DemocracyIs:, a national campaign grounded in the belief that democracy and racial justice are inseparable. We are inviting organizers, artists, public leaders, and communities across the nation to move past simply resisting attacks and start building institutions rooted in belonging, shared power, and truth. Join us in rewriting the next chapter of democracy.
As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, we face a fundamental question: What kind of democracy do we want for the next 250 years?
In this video, Glenn Harris, President of Race Forward, introduces DemocracyIs:—a national campaign rooted in the belief that democracy and racial justice are inseparable. While our movements have often been forced into a defensive posture to protect hard-won gains, this moment demands more than just defense. It is a moment to govern, to imagine, and to build a multiracial democracy where everyone can thrive.
