PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE -  America’s youth may be multi-racial, but that does not make them post-racial. And they are not monolithic. There are differences in how millennials of different races and ethnicities view the extent and continued significance of racism in various systems. Unfortunately, as is the case with most Americans, they often lack the tools necessary to go beyond interpersonal racism and talk about systemic racism–though most young people of color have little problem recognizing an entire system as racist.

ARC plans to keep these vital conversations going. We shine the spotlight on millennials speaking out in their own words in our "Don't Call Them 'Post-Racial'" report, as well as in the multi-piece series produced by Colorlines.com. And in our June 23 webinar we will be discussing the levels of racism – so we can finally shift the focus from interpersonal racism to the systemic racism that is so entrenched in our society.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE - We started the Drop the I-Word campaign to rid the immigration discourse of the dehumanizing word “illegals.”  I’m asking now for your help – together we can get this biased word out of the immigration lexicon. We’re at a pivotal moment in our Drop the I-Word campaign, and we need your help to pay for staff, materials, translation, and all the other tools needed to move a big cultural shift. Please donate $10 to ARC today so that we can sustain and grow this vital campaign.
