Our spirits are still empowered one week removed from #JustNarratives our first-ever geared towards narrative change. Together, over 450 attendees developed narrative strategies, skillsets, and tactics to ignite our path towards a multiracial democracy.

This is what solidarity looks like.
As part of this year's Cultural Week of Action, @ndncollective.bsky.social's activation at #JustNarratives showcased the power of screenprinting alongside narrative strategists, cultural workers, and movement builders who understand the power of authentic stories rooted in liberation.

Our colleagues Maria Sennett, Francis Janes, Anil Awasti, and Elsie Rowell joined @raceforward.org's Just Narratives Convening, where speakers like Alok Vaid-Menon urged creating liberatory spaces. We’re energized to keep co-creating them, rooted in dignity and repair, within the banking system.

Through arts, culture, and creativity, the Cultural Week of Action on Race and Democracy has inspired actions we can take together to create a truly, just, multiracial democracy.

We're forever grateful for the support of our #CWA25 organizing partners!

It’s a time to shift the narrative, reclaim the deeper meaning of democracy, and elevate the power of culture to shape what comes next.

By bridging our differences and honoring our truths, we can strengthen this country—so that “liberty and justice for all” includes every one of us.

The Cultural Week of Action is our chance to build the country to which we aspire and know is possible.

Here are the 5 goals to #CWA25.

Turn tactical wins into cultural transformation. Turn cultural transformation into structural infrastructure. Turn structural infrastructure into anti-authoritarian power.

Every campaign is a democracy lab. Today is a day for organizing.
