OUR
MISSION.
Riders for Race Amity is a biking initiative dedicated to fostering racial healing and unity. Cyclists journey from Madison, WI to Montgomery, Alabama, visiting historical sites and engaging in Restorative Justice Circles along the way. By promoting dialogue, reflection, and action, the ride raises awareness of racial biases and connects participants with the principles of the Copper to Gold program. Through community engagement and meaningful conversations, Riders for Race Amity strives to build bridges across racial divides and inspire lasting change.
