Every generation faces a turning point where it’s determined which stories will define the future.
This is ours.
This past August, the Department of Homeland Security released a video claiming victory in a so-called “battle for the soul of our nation.” It looked like scenes of violence in Washington, D.C., until reporters discovered the footage had actually come from Los Angeles, West Palm Beach, even Nantucket.
It was propaganda: a montage designed to provoke fear, justify crackdowns, and rewrite reality.
And it worked. Millions saw those videos, crafted by our own government, before fact-checkers could catch up to the truth. And, even then, the truth was too late to be effective.
This is a template for how misinformation spreads in 2025 to erode our multiracial democracy. We are determined to fight back. We are determined to win
for our sake and for the sake of our children and grandchildren.
For more than 40 years, we at Race Forward have built the tools to meet this moment:
|
|
|
- Training and equipping local leaders to bring racial equity into policy and practice.
- Building narrative and cultural power so truth can compete with manipulation.
- Conducting research and shaping governance that holds systems accountable.
- Strengthening grassroots movements that connect justice work across race, class, and geography.

Your gift this season keeps that work alive. It ensures that when those in power use lies to divide and distract, we have organizers, storytellers, and public servants ready to respond with clarity and courage.
