 Next up is an award that pays tribute to an organization or an individual that exemplifies an outstanding commitment to promoting justice and equity and closing opportunity gaps in public education. This year's Equity Partner Award goes to an organization that excels in partnering with others to advance racial justice in policies, institutions, and culture. Their latest initiative, HEAL, H-E-A-L, which stands for Honest Education, Action, and Leadership is gaining traction across the United States with students, educators, and parents who believe that an honest, accurate, and fully funded public education is the foundation of a just and multiracial democracy. This year's Equity Partner Award goes to Race Forward. Accepting the NEA Foundation Equity Partner Award on behalf of Race Forward is its president, Glenn Harris. Such a pleasure to be here with you all, and it feels a little backwards, I'm honest. It feels like we at Race Forward should be presenting the award to the NEA Foundation and to the NEA for the commitment they have made over the last several years to racial and social justice. And so that's where I want to start. I want to give some real appreciation to the Center for Racial and Social Justice and the work that it's been doing. And I want to give some serious love to Sarah and Becky for their leadership, their vision, and their voice. Thank you so much. So I've got the easy job. I get to accept the recognition. But the truth is, is that I work with this incredible team of human beings at Race Forward who have made it their life's work to center racial justice, to commit to answering the question is America possible, is a just multiracial democracy possible, and knowing beyond any reasonable doubt that public education is the cornerstone to that possibility. So I want to give you all a little bit of love. For everybody in this room who is a lover of justice, I want to say thank you. I know this work is not always easy. And I know in this moment it is more important than ever that we lean in, right? That we get real about what it means to make a just multiracial democracy possible. And what that requires is that we get hard on the systems. You with me? That we are relentless in our pursuit for justice in the systems and simultaneously that we don't forget that we need to be a little soft on each other. You know what I'm saying? We got to do that with courage, love, and humility. Courage to organize within our existing circles and our new circles, right? We got to have the humility to understand that people who could be committed to racial justice, they need our time, our energy, and our commitment in the same way that people gave us time, energy, and commitment that made us part of this movement today. And we need to lean into love because at the end of the day, the people in our lives are the ones who sustain us. And we need to lean into love for those who are yet to join us because that's how we win. And with that, I just want to say thank you so much for the recognition and thank you so much for the work.
