Antiracist Voter
The murder of George Floyd created a moment of reflection and rededication to racial equality. But moments are ephemeral. Americans have a notoriously short attention span.

Antiracist ideas are activated in antiracist policy, especially in local elections. Yet, only 30% of eligible voters vote in local elections.

We focus on criminal justice, economic justice, environmental justice, education, housing, health, voting rights, and more. We talk about problems, but we don’t stop there. We talk about solutions. Who is getting it right?
