About

RaceWithoutIsm is a non-governmental organisation based in Saint Petersburg, United States working on human rights, education, community development.

RaceWithoutIsm, Inc is a Florida nonprofit based in St. Petersburg that works to confront racism, promote diversity and inclusion, and foster community engagement. It runs historically grounded educational programmes and facilitated dialogue sessions that trace the origins and evolution of race in the United States, from 1492 to the present, and aims to show how the idea of race has been used to divide and rank people. Its activities include Community Healing Conversations, the BurGala fundraising event and the LIFT Award, which honours community leaders, a personality type workshop, and exhibitions and presentations at schools, senior centres and community festivals. The organisation also takes part in events such as National Race Amity Day and the National Day of Racial Healing, and works with local museums, universities and community groups. It describes its mission as creating safe spaces where people can speak openly about racism, diversity and inclusion, with a vision of a world strengthened by the acceptance and celebration of differences. The organisation became a Florida nonprofit in 2018 and received 501 status in 2021, according to its site.
