In 2017, the Montgomery County Police in Maryland reported a 26% increase in bias incidents over the previous year. Of the incidents reported, roughly half were motivated by a racial or ethnic bias.
Story Tapestries decided to confront these biases by encouraging children and adults alike to share their stories and advocate for themselves through the arts, offering free workshops in public spaces in communities that face high rates of bias incidents.
Based on their experiences, the leaders at Story Tapestries shared their top advice on how to be a racial justice advocate at your nonprofit.
GlobalGiving.org has featured Story Tapestries as one of six nonprofits to gain valuable insight from on fighting for racial justice.
