We center impacted communities and mobilize accountable bodies to advance racially equitable systems and policies that ensure all people in the St. Louis region can thrive.

Racial Equity Summit
Blanche M. Touhill Performing Arts Center / St. Louis, MOForward 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.
The 2025 Summit theme is “#Unflinching: A Call to Action.” We hope that the 2025 St. Louis Racial Equity Summit will be an #Unflinching space for us to share wisdom, strategy, and visions for a St. Louis region where, regardless of race and ZIP code, there is justice for all, opportunity to thrive, and boundless possibility for all of our youth.
