About The Summit
Building Momentum for a Just Future
The Greenlining Institute’s annual Summit brings together the most important voices in the movement for racial justice and convenes over 1,000 change-makers to build momentum for transformative change.
To mark Greenlining’s 30th anniversary, we’re bringing it back to in-person in Oakland, CA for the first time since 2019. We’re thrilled to announce that stand-up comedian and director W. Kamau Bell will join us as this year’s featured speaker.
Kamau Bell’s thought-provoking analysis, hilarious wit, and insight into this country’s relationship with race will set the tone for the Just Future Summit–one of the country’s largest racial equity conferences.
