On the first episode of the second installment of No Matter What Happens: A Race Forward Podcast, Eric Ward, Executive Vice President of Race Forward, sits down with Ramon Ramirez, a Race Forward board member and Coordinator of the Elders Network. Together, they examine the power of multiracial coalitions in confronting the pressing challenges of racial and social justice.
Drawing connections between today’s political struggles and historic movements, Ramon reflects on the enduring need for Black-Brown unity and intergenerational collaboration. They explore the role of the Elders Network in mentoring young activists and building resilience in an increasingly polarized climate.
Through deeply personal narratives, Eric and Ramon consider a question at the heart of activism: how can revolutionary generosity and care across communities sustain movements for justice?
