Facing Race is coming to Dallas, TX from November 13-15, 2014
Facing Race is the largest national, multi-racial gathering of leaders, educators, journalists, artists, and activists on racial justice. Over 1,400 of you joined us in Baltimore as we reflected on 30 years of racial justice work and strategized for the future. We came away inspired by your energy, insights, and passion. We're looking forward to 2014 already!
We are very excited to announce that the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity at the Ohio State University will be joining as a central partner in Facing Race 2014. The merger of Facing Race with Kirwan's own Transforming Race conference allows us to provide an even better Facing Race to our shared community.

President's Message: Three weeks ago, we sent you a special alert that the Associated Press (AP) had announced it was taking “i______ immigrant” out of its stylebook and would no longer sanction use of the term. One week later, USA Today made the same announcement. It would be so easy, now, to claim a victory and move on. But you and I both know that we are still far from having stopped the use of the i-word in U.S. culture and journalism.
- Network News: ARC was recently featured in the blog of the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy. Pat Brandes of the Barr Foundation wrote a blog post which discussed ways to address persistent racial gaps from a philanthropic perspective.
- Colorlines Spotlight: On April 21, our editorial team emerged from its weekly planning meeting ready for a busy week. A few hours later, a bomb exploded at the Boston Marathon. Over the ensuing days, our colleagues in the old and new media alike demonstrated journalism both at its best--and at its worst.
- Applying Our Research: ARC continues its search to fill a senior research associate position with a highly qualified, committed and engaging individual, who would work from the Oakland, CA office, or remotely in the Southern United States.

President's Message: Today I'm excited to announce the newest addition to the ARC team: Jay Smooth. As a trailblazing radio host on WBAI's "Underground Railroad," and acclaimed cultural commentator through his Ill Doctrine video series, Jay has been one of the most accessible voices for 20 years on race and culture. We are thrilled to welcome him as ARC's Video & Multimedia Producer, to develop our multimedia strategies and produce exciting work to engage people on racial justice issues.
- Applying Our Research: ARC is working with undergraduate students from the University of California, Berkeley to gather data and research on college admissions policies nationwide, in anticipation of the Supreme Court's forthcoming affirmative action decision in the Fisher v. Texas case.
- Network News: ARC recently presented a webinar on Racial Equity Impact Assessments to the grantees of our long-time partner, the Schott Foundation for Public Education’s Opportunity to Learn Campaign. The webinar focused on how to identify, remedy, and prevent disparities in education policy.
- Colorlines.com Spotlight: Colorlines has for years explored the ways in which zero-tolerance punishment systems target communities of color with perverse justice. In the coming months, we'll pay special attention to the human toll these systems have taken in our neighborhoods, families, and lives.

President's Message: Nothing is more central to shifting the race discourse than how the United States treats immigrants and their families. Our Shattered Families and Drop the I-Word projects allowed ARC to do the best of what we’d always done (reveal the racial impact of policies through hard data) and try something new (change the language of the immigration debate).
- Applying Our Research: ARC is conducting an anonymous survey of scholars and educators to assist us with the development of a prospective "Resources for Educators" section of our website. Please help us gather valuable input by taking this 10-12 minute survey.
- Network News: ARC, in partnership with Southerners on New Ground (SONG), has launched a new leadership program to foster collaboration and innovation around the themes of intersectionality, unity and visibility, and to bridge LGBTQ equity with racial justice.
- Colorlines.com Spotlight: This month we're thrilled to announce we’ve added some new muscle. Akiba Solomon, who has written our Gender Matters column for two years, is stepping into a new leadership role as Colorlines’ Managing Editor.

President's Message: My vision for the struggle for racial justice is one of excess: an excess of courage, an excess of hope, an excess of resources. You already showed us how this vision can come true by showing up in record numbers at Facing Race. Can you also make this vision a reality by donating to our “$30K in 30 Days” fundraising campaign? With your support we know we can exceed our wildest dreams and make racial justice a household term.
- Applying Our Research: The Research Department expects to expand its work in the South, and would welcome applications for the Senior Research Associate position from individuals with professional histories and relationships in that region of the country.
- Network News: Racial equity requires leadership. And leadership requires clarity and connections, vision and values, and skills and strategies. ARC’s racial justice trainings are designed to provide innovative and practical tools that equip all kinds of people to be equity leaders.
- Colorlines.com Spotlight: The election's over, voters of color have convinced the political class that we're not going away, and conversations about how to leverage that power toward real change are already buzzing.
- Organizational Updates: Enjoy highlights of the Facing Race plenaries and keynote with video clips on Colorlines.com.
