The 2045 Project is a forward-looking series of convenings with experts, influencers, and movement activists. Together, we will envision the future we want to build as people of color will become the majority in the country, and what it will take to get us there. 

In 2045, a majority of Americans will be people of color. The question is: are you ready to leverage your power?

This new series aims to envision the future we want to build as people of color as we become the majority, and what it will take to get there. Movement activists, politicos and visionaries will discuss how to lean into a multi-racial vision for the future of our country.

 

July 16 The Revolution=Black Women+Girls 

As Advancement Project National Office celebrates our 20th anniversary, we will shine a light on dynamic women, past present, and future. This evening of celebration will highlight the vast ranging experiences of women and girls around the country. We will create a space for friends of Advancement Project National Office to join us as we lift up the dynamic voices of women who inspire us through their advocacy, artistry, and dedication to making the world for just for woman and girls of color.
