#RaceAnd Democracy: Co-Governance Tool to Reinforce our Multiracial Society

Join Race Forward’s Place-Based Strategies team for the launch of the Co-Governance Tool for a Multiracial Democracy: a new resource to help community and government leaders build structures that share power, center racial equity, and move us closer to a democracy that works for all.
As federal attacks on equity and democracy intensify, co-governance presents a transformative alternative. Rooted in collective leadership and trust, it empowers communities most affected by systemic racism to exercise real decision-making power.
This is the first in a series of RaceAnd conversations, introducing the tool and offering space for practitioners, organizers, and public leaders to explore its real-world applications. Co-sponsored with our friends at Partners for Dignity and Rights, we will be joined by leaders from different communities who will share the power co-governing can have on some of the biggest challenges we face. This event will set the stage for an upcoming Learning Lab this fall.
In this webinar, you’ll hear about:
- What co-governance is and how to use it toward racial justice.
- How this current moment calls for us to strengthen local solidarity
- Key questions that should be considered when building co-governing “tables”
- Stories from local communities that highlight the power of co-governance to address significant challenges
