9am-1pm – The Right is Coming for the Progressive Base. Are We Ready? A Strategy Session (Location TBA)

Following the Politics of the Multiracial Right symposium, this session will examine the strategic challenges and opportunities posed by the ascendent multiracial right. Efforts to build the multiracial right have focused on recruiting individuals and candidates and leaders, but have also laid claim to broader narratives about identity, social justice, corporate accountability and other issues that have historically been the domain of the left. 

The morning will begin with an organizers roundtable reflecting on challenges posed by the multiracial right, followed by small group discussions. The second half will focus on promising strategies–within research, journalism, organizing, advocacy and other fields–that respond to and contest these efforts.
