For many advocates and supporters of the racial justice movement, the 2016 U.S. election results unleashed a wave of shock, fear, disillusionment, anger, and deep motivation, among other emotions. The early stages of the immense work that lies ahead has already begun — from providing support and preparing protection for some of the most vulnerable in our communities, to monitoring policy signs from the forthcoming administration, to driving solutions at the local level.
The scale of attacks is not normal, but the foundations for this struggle have been well-established in the vision, values and dedication of hundreds of organizations, big and small, across the country.
If you are, at this moment, unsure of how and where to look for the latest information, or you’re unsure how you can actively support the racial justice movement in this time of great need, Race Forward offers the following shortlist — grouped by six areas of immediate concern — as a starting point of reference.
