Based on the fundamental equality of members of the<br>human race, racial justice is seen as a major key to peace, prosperity, and unity.\u201d (Gregory Paul<br>Meyjes)<sup>1<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In consultation with those present at its first meeting, the group will be called the \u201cRace Unity<br>Initiative\u201d (RUI). RUI aims to act solely, independently, and directly promote race unity \u2013 i.e., not as<br>a spin-off of existing social or political entities. To this end, it seeks to recruit a balanced array of<br>activist members from a variety of ideological, ethnocultural, or (non-)religious backgrounds. RUI is<br>non-partisan, non-legalistic &#8212; and not beholden to any particular social service, financial, or religious<br>organization. Moreover, its members do not elevate or advertise whatever civic or professional<br>organization(s) with which they may otherwise be associated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RUI intends to be organizationally neutral, interdisciplinary in approach, as well as truly inclusive.<br>Its sole agenda is to articulate, organize, and advocate for equitable, sustainable, and productive race<br>relations, without inherent attachment to institutions of the status quo. Naturally, such institutions<br>including the media, non-profit organizations, neighborhoods, government, etc. may be collaborated<br>with, consulted, challenged, or otherwise engaged. The Initiative, however, will remain inviolable in<br>its independent, laser-sharp, and energized commitment to the advancement of ethical, equitable,<br>and efficacious relations between the \u201craces\u201d in the US and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new initiative has been created, to bring together individuals, both spiritually and secularlyinclined, who are knowledgeable about and truly<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2294,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"no_sidebar_full_width","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"no_sidebar","nf_dc_page":"","_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[96],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3045","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-community"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/justcultureconsulting.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3045","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/justcultureconsulting.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/justcultureconsulting.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/justcultureconsulting.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/justcultureconsulting.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3045"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/justcultureconsulting.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3045\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3272,"href":"https:\/\/justcultureconsulting.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3045\/revisions\/3272"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/justcultureconsulting.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2294"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/justcultureconsulting.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3045"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/justcultureconsulting.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3045"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/justcultureconsulting.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3045"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
