In fall of 2019, Forward Through Ferguson convened in commemoration of the fifth anniversary of the killing of Michael Brown Jr. and the formation of the Ferguson Commission at the inaugural St. Louis Racial Equity Summit.

The assembly was a platform for elevation, connection, and activation of the people, practices, and resources necessary to achieve Racial Equity. And while 2020 has had many of us pivot and rediscover what convening and collaboration will look like, we are still moving forward to achieve Racial Equity in our region (and beyond).

This 2021 St. Louis Racial Equity Summit Kick-Off Event will serve as a bridge between the 2019 inaugural summit and our 2021 event which will be held virtually and *tentatively* in person in early August 2021.

The kickoff program will explore what has happened across the St. Louis region since our inaugural summit and offer the opportunity for you to share your thoughts and inform the content presented at the 2021 Summit.

ULI Women’s Leadership Initiative (WLI) is hosting their regional summit virtually in fall 2020. They’re looking hard at the past practices and policies that brought us to where we are today in a deeply divided society where race is far too often a determining factor in a person’s success.

Join them for three immersive sessions with local and regional experts in land use, equity, and leadership. They’ll unpack the issues – real estate and policy based – and work toward actions that everyone can take to strengthen the work and movement around righting these wrongs.

Part 3, Action, asks what land use professionals can do to further efforts or push harder for equitable development and, ultimately, an equitable society.
