Two days after the recent elections, I had the privilege of attending the national Facing Race conference, spending three days with 2,300 racial justice activists from across the country. After the devastating results, it was just what I needed. I write this letter to summarize what I learned from some of the best organizers and strategists in the country about the meaning of the elections to people who care about social justice, and specifically, the role of white people who care about racial justice. Now is a moment to step up, and how we do it matters, now more than ever.
