The Bridge is always engaging, examining and exploring.

We work to engage people to talk across differences, examine entrenched narratives and explore how race and cultural identity can influence individuals, institutions and policy. The Bridge is committed to raising awareness and sharing information about our work – namely the real stories that make up what we do – through a variety of channels.
