Building Courageous Communities
The Racial Justice Collaborative is a Black-led organization dedicated to deep race education, dialogue, and bridge-building. Our primary work involves facilitating comprehensive discussions on race, offering workshops, and consulting with cities, communities, nonprofits, and other institutions to foster a deeper understanding of racial issues and unity.

What We Do
-
Courageous Conversations
The RJC specializes in creating space for open, compassionate, community dialogue across cultural divides usually in mixed race groups. We lead discussions about race, emphasizing self-identification, emotional intelligence, and building relationships. At the RJC, we believe every voice must be heard.
-
Workshops
The RJC hosts and facilitates regular workshops, discussions and online events that provide people the opportunity to discuss race and racial issues with a mixed race group. Racial justice starts with building resilience to be able to talk about race with different groups of people.
-
Education
All of our work has an education component to it. It is crucial to know the past in order to affect change in the present future. Almost all of our workshops feature educational and historical content about race. We also feature a ton of great educational video content on YouTube.

The Cost of Forgetting:
What Black Erasure Steals From All of Us
5th Annual Juneteenth Event
This year’s Juneteenth theme calls us to name what’s being stolen, honor what must be remembered, and envision what will be reclaimed. Through our storytelling and dialogue, we will reaffirm our history and the immeasurable contributions of Black people who shape the soul of this country. Can we rise with more strength, clarity, and unity than ever? We must say together: we refuse to be erased.
