Today’s racial justice movement seeks to address inequalities through community mobilization, civil legal advocacy, communications, and policy reform. This premiere session of OSI's Racial Justice series explored the current state of U.S. racial justice advocacy that works to promote and secure civil justice for low-income communities of color. Specific attention was given to strategies that effect systemic change and encourage a national agenda on racial equity within progressive advocacy.
Moderated by Tanya Coke, a program development consultant with the ACLU, the panel featured:
- John A. Powell, Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
- Rinku Sen, Applied Research Center
- John Echohawk, Native American Rights Fund
