“For more than 40 years, race forward has brought a systemic analysis and an innovative approach to complex race issues to help people take effective action toward racial equity. Our vision and mission: -vision: race forward imagines a just, multiracial, democratic society, free from oppression and exploitation, in which people of color thrive with power and purpose. -mission: race forward catalyzes racial justice movement building. In partnership with communities, organizations, and sectors, we build strategies to advance racial justice in our policies, institutions, and culture. Theory of change: -grow power: we need connected and aligned networks of people, organizations, and movements to build the collective power (economic, social, political, etc.) necessary to counter structural racism and steward transformative solutions for racial justice. -transform culture: we must harness the power of narrative, arts, and culture to assert the full humanity of communities of color, challenge racist ideologies that fuel structural racism, and envision a more just and equitable future. -transform policy: we must position communities of color and other historically oppressed communities as leaders and decision-makers in the policy-making process to create racially equitable policies at all levels. -transform institutions/sectors: institutions across multiple sectors of society (e.g. Government, philanthropy, non-profit, private, etc.) must operationalize racial equity in their policies, practices, programs, and products. 2023 programmatic achievements institutional and sectoral change: establishes sustainable racial equity practice in sectors by facilitating learning cohorts, developing tools for long-term change, and tracking shifts that demonstrate success.
