The Black, Brown, and Indigenous Conference is a powerful collaboration between Juntos NW and the Fresh Out Community Reentry Program, two respected non-profits committed to social justice, healing, and community empowerment. Together, we are creating a transformative space that uplifts the voices of Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities through dialogue, connection, and collective action. Historically, our communities have endured systemic underrepresentation, limited access to resources, and a lack of culturally responsive and culturally specific services. These inequities have fueled social exclusion, deepened poverty, and reinforced cycles of injustice. Competition for limited funding and support has too often created division making it harder to build the solidarity we need to thrive.

This conference exists to break that cycle.

The Black, Brown, and Indigenous Conference is a safe, inclusive, and empowering space where we can celebrate our cultures, share resources, build relationships, and strengthen our collective power. It is a gathering rooted in healing, resilience, and community-led solutions

Through open dialogue and shared lived experience, we will challenge inequities, confront barriers, and move toward lasting systemic change. At the heart of this conference is a commitment to health equity ensuring that every person, regardless of race, culture, or background, has access to the resources, care, and opportunities they deserve.

This conference is more than an event; it is a movement, a powerful call to rise together and a beacon of hope for what’s possible when we unite.
