SUMMARY:Art Exhibition: Siyan Wong: Make It 10 Cents
DESCRIPTION:Make it 10 Cents is a painting exhibition to raise awareness and to support a one-day pop-up redemption on May 26th in Chinatown. This pop-up simulates the passage of the Bigger Better Bottle Bill by redeeming all materials at the 10-cent rate. \nSiyan Wong’s paintings depict elderly low wage workers who collect cans to survive. Each of her social realist paintings\, in vibrant colors\, captures a fleeting moment that exudes the human experience of living – depicting lives whose efflorescence is held back by the politics of their days. Together\, they show the human spirit always venturing toward a better life. \nThrough these paintings\, she gives visibility to the work of the historically marginalized\, and puts a spotlight on the cans and bottles that end up in costly landfills that devastate our environment. The individuals appearing in her paintings are elderly Chinese immigrants in Chinatown and the Lower East Side who worked in garment factories\, restaurants\, and homecare before turning to rummaging for cans and bottles on the streets. \nWong states that\, “Art is only as powerful as the inspiration for actions that comes from it. ‘Make It 10 Cents’ is an art exhibition about doing right by our vulnerable population of elderly and working poor\, and to protect our environment that is experiencing rapid\, severe degradation driven in part by failure in policies.” \nLocation: Welcome to Chinatown\nRegular Hours: Monday to Friday: 10:00AM – 6:00PM\nDuration: April 14 – May 29\, 2026

Established in 2018\, our mission is to amplify the stories of the Vietnamese diaspora community\, educate and inspire\, and foster meaningful connections.

SUMMARY:#RaceAnd Series: Building Narrative Power for Solidarity and Change
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to build narrative power that shifts systems\, strengthens solidarity\, and advances racial justice across sectors.\n\n\nThis is a four part webinar series on building narrative power for solidarity and systems change. Attendees will get access to narrative change tools and frameworks and the opportunity to engage with narrative experts and practitioners who are working on interventions and projections to dismantle systemic oppression and build solidarity. The fourth session is a narrative clinic to do some light workshopping of projects that attendees are working on. One ticket gives attendees access to all four sessions which will also be recorded and shared with folks who sign up! \nBuilding narrative power has always been a critical strategy in creating just and equitable policies\, systems\, and institutions. The time to build narrative power is now. \nToday\, threats to democracy and racial justice are growing at an alarming rate. Authoritarianism and systemic racism continue to harm Black and brown folks\, immigrants\, and trans people. Our economic\, health care\, education\, and justice systems are being gutted from the inside while billion-dollar corporations grow their wealth. This current political environment is deeply rooted in narratives of inequity and racism. Harmful narratives of division\, isolation\, individualism\, and scarcity dominate popular media and conversations and undergird the unjust status quo we have today. \nIt is not enough that we make our narratives the dominant narratives. We need narrative power that will shift institutional\, policy\, and systemic change towards equity and justice. Building narrative power means effectively using our stories\, messages\, communications\, and narratives to move people\, organizations\, and communities towards solidarity for systemic racial justice. \nWhen we build narrative power\, we offer an actionable vision of a just\, multiracial world that is so irresistible that it fosters greater solidarity across all our movements. \nWHO IS THIS WEBINAR FOR: This webinar series is for folks part of the bigger narrative ecosystem: communicators\, storytellers\, narrative strategists\, equity officers\, government and community leaders\, and racial justice advocates who want to learn more about strategies to build narrative power in this time of crisis and beyond. This series is for those working to build solidarity and change inequitable systems to become just using narrative interventions and strategies. \nGOALS OF THE WEBINAR SERIES: \nThe goals of this webinar series are \n\nTo build a shared understanding of the role of narrative power in addressing systemic inequities and barriers and gain a foundation for developing your own narrative strategy.\nTo gain an understanding of our existing narrative infrastructure – the relationships and resources available – and what is still needed in order to continue to build and sustain narrative power for long term systemic change.\nTo explore what narrative strategy looks like in practice across sectors and issue areas.\nTo build a space for peer learning with others who are working to advance justice and solidarity using narrative interventions and strategies.\n\nRegistrants will be able to attend all four sessions live below and receive access to the webinar recordings and any tools or presentations shared during the sessions. \nWebinar 1: How to Build Narrative Power for Systems and Culture Change (May 7\, 2026)Speakers:Nikko Viquiera\, Deputy Senior VP of Programs\, Race ForwardSughey Ramirez\, Director of Narrative and Cultural Strategies\, Race ForwardAnnie Neimand Ph.D\, RadCommsThis session will help attendees sharpen their knowledge and capacity to design narrative interventions that move people and organizations towards systemic change. This session will support attendees in the use of tools and frameworks to help align our messages and stories with our values and vision of a just world to empower us to lead a more coordinated\, solidarity-driven movement. We will also dig into some examples of effective narrative change interventions that attendees can learn from. \nWebinar 2: Strategies and Challenges to Building Narrative Power in Times of Crisis (May 14\, 2026)Speakers:Sol Jiménez-Palacios\, National Organizer\, Familia: Trans Queer Liberation MovementSarah Lowe Ph.D\, Vice President Communications + Research\, Define AmericanAletha Maybank M.D\, Ph.D \, Co-Founder\, Truthlight StudioPamela Mejia\,Co-Director Berkeley Media Studies GroupWhat narratives have been effective in advancing solidarity and equity? What narrative interventions and strategies do we need to focus on at this moment of rising authoritarianism? In this session\, attendees will hear from narrative experts – strategists\, capacity builders\, researchers\, and funders who are building tools\, knowledge\, and resources important to the field. We will explore challenges in the field of narrative power building\, best practices and strategies\, and opportunities for collaboration. \nWebinar 3: Narrative in the Wild: Exploring Narrative Interventions and Power-Building ( May 21\, 2026)Shireen Malekafzali\, Chief Equity Officer\, San Mateo CountyNasir Anthony Montalvo\, Archivist\, Black Queer Kansas City (B/qKC)Kenrya Rankin\, Managing Director\, Disability Culture LabShammara Wright\, Healthy Communities\, Managing Director\, Robert Wood Johnson FoundationBy now\, we know building narrative power calls on us to lead with values and vision. But what does that look like in practice? How can we activate our vision and values for our audiences via our narrative and cultural interventions? In this session\, we’ll hear from a panel of artists\, organizers\, government employees\, and racial justice leaders who are implementing narrative strategies in critical issue areas\, including immigration\, government\, health\, and economic mobility. Attendees will emerge with inspiration and concrete examples they can use to inform the development of their own narrative strategies – regardless of issue area or sector. \nSession 4: Narrative Strategies Clinic ( May 28\, 2026) \nThis is a facilitated coaching and peer-learning space for attendees who want to workshop their narrative interventions with the Race Forward team and peers in the field. We will also be sharing a prototype tool developed in our Weavers’ Lab that can be useful to those who are working on narrative projects. \nSliding Scale Ticket Model \nWe are committed to making our racial equity trainings accessible to all\, regardless of financial circumstances. To do this\, we use a sliding-scale ticketing model. \nFor this course\, your one ticket purchase (at any tier) covers all 4 sessions. \nLearn more about our ticket prices here: https://bit.ly/RFTicketInfo
