Welcome to Race-Class Academy, a 12-video introduction to how together we can beat dog whistle politics by building cross-racial and cross-class solidarity.

Certain politicians exploit racist rhetoric to divide and distract, while they rig government and the economy for themselves and their big money donors. They get richer, we get poorer—and the power of government is turned against communities of color.

But we can fight back and win. Here’s the most powerful movement-building message today:

When we come together to reject racism as a weapon of the reactionary rich, we can make sure that the government works for all of us, of every race and color.

This is the race-class approach. Sound simple? It is.

And it isn’t.
