Lead the Movement in Your Community
Everything you need to organize Race Amity Day celebrations, facilitate meaningful dialogues, and build lasting bridges across difference in your neighborhood.
Change starts local.
The race amity movement grows one community at a time — through people like you who believe that friendship across difference is possible and necessary. We provide the resources, training, and support you need to bring people together in your city, neighborhood, or organization.
Plan Your Race Amity Day Celebration
Join hundreds of communities nationwide in celebrating our shared humanity
Race Amity Day, proclaimed in cities and states across America, is an annual opportunity to bring your community together around our common bonds. Whether you're planning your first celebration or your twentieth, we have resources to make your event meaningful and impactful.

"Starting a Race Amity Day celebration in our city was easier than I expected. The toolkit had everything we needed, and the NCRA team was always available to answer questions. Three years later, it's become a beloved annual tradition."
