We want to be clear:
The work of Center for the Study of Race, Politics & Culture (CSRPC) is being challenged in real time.
 
Across the country, efforts are growing to:
• Defund critical research
• Ban honest historical inquiry
• Silence artistic expression
 
These are not abstract threats—they impact the very work our community produces every day.
But we are not backing down.
 
We remain rooted in the belief that truth-telling, creative freedom, and critical inquiry are essential to democracy.
 
Your gift today helps us stand firm in this moment.
 
We’re not just preserving the past—we’re protecting the future.
 
Stand with us.

CSRPC has never been just a Center.
It’s a community.
A space where scholarship challenges injustice.
Where artists expand what we imagine is possible.
Where partnerships turn knowledge into action.
And none of this happens without you.
Your support fuels:
• Student opportunities
• Public programming
• Groundbreaking research
• Creative work that shifts culture
Giving Day is your chance to invest directly in the future of this work.
👉 Make your gift today and help us continue building what matters.
Because this isn’t just about sustaining a center—
it’s about protecting a movement.

GIVING DAY IS HERE!
Today, we begin.
For 30 years, the Center for the Study of Race, Politics & Culture (CSRPC) has been a vital home for rigorous scholarship, creative practice, and anti-racist engagement.

Since 1996, we’ve created a brave, nurturing space for students, faculty, artists, and community partners committed to understanding race as central to public life—and imagining more just futures.

But today, this work is under threat.

Across the country, efforts are underway to defund, censor, and silence the very research, art, and programming that define spaces like CSRPC.

We refuse silence.

And today, we’re asking you to stand with us.

Your gift ensures that this work continues—not just to survive, but to grow with clarity, courage, and care.

👉 Give now and be part of what comes next. Stand with us. The next 30 years starts today.
