ISPS/RITM/CSAP COSPONSORED EVENT

In the Los Angeles suburbs a ‘Filipinos for Trump’ rally attracts hundreds. On the south side of Chicago, Black conservative activists open the “Booker T Washington and Ida B Wells Renaissance Center” to recruit new voters for the local GOP. Conservative groups like the Koch Brothers pour millions into programs to train and recruit Latinos while the Proud Boys draw growing numbers of men of color into their leadership. A new wave of Black and Latino candidates win election to Congress across the country, some running as proud MAGA champions. Polls now point to growing support for the Trump campaign among many voters of color.

These trends have unfolded even as the GOP has moved sharply rightward on a wide range of racialized policy issues, including affirmative action, voting rights, immigration, public safety, housing, and reproductive justice.

To make sense of this rapidly changing terrain, this symposium brings together leading journalists, scholars, and advocates to examine the shifting dynamics of race in conservative political formations.
