August 8-9th – Racial Equity Summit @ UMSL Millennium Student Center

The 2025 St. Louis Racial Equity Summit will be hosted by Forward Through Ferguson on August 8-9, 2025 at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. Forward Through Ferguson is excited to host the fourth biennial St. Louis Racial Equity Summit. As the founder of the Summit and an anti-racist systems change organization, we are committed to preserving the legacy of the Ferguson uprising. We aim to ensure that the Ferguson Commission's 189 calls to action are not forgotten. We look forward to convening hundreds of advocates in-person and online to exchange ideas, insights, and perspectives on ways to transform the St. Louis region into a racially equitable place to live and thrive. Learn more and stay updated at racialequitystl.org, by following @stlchange on social media (Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, and Threads), and subscribing to Forward Through Ferguson’s newsletter.
We have designed the St. Louis Racial Equity Summit as a platform to elevate, connect, and activate the people, practices, and resources necessary to achieve Racial Equity in the St. Louis region. There will be individual presentations, interactive workshops, and moderated panels for people at all levels: from beginners in this work, to nonprofit leaders, to seasoned organizers.
