and is a founding member of Here4TheKids — started Race2Dinner in Denver in 2019. The pair met when Rao ran for Congress in Colorado's 1st Congressional District in 2018 in the Democratic primary against Diana DeGette; Jackson worked on her campaign. After Rao lost against the longtime incumbent with 31.8 percent of the vote, she and Jackson began hosting dinner parties with groups of liberal white women, which grew into Race2Dinner.
Rao compares the Here4TheKids movement to Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous march from Selma to Montgomery to protect the voting rights of Black people in the Jim Crow South; the brutalization of the Black people by Alabama State Troopers ended when white people joined the march."Denver is our Selma," she says.
And Here4TheKids is serious about stopping the violence and making schools safe by giving real momentum to the anti-gun cause."Republicans have been playing chess; we have been blowing bubbles," Rao says. This movement, on the other hand,"is coming and showing up for the game." A freelance writer living in Lakewood, Terry says she only recently learned of Rao, when a friend messaged her suggesting she check out the Here4TheKids movement. Terry responded to a post from Rao on social media calling for volunteers; five minutes later, she says, she got a call back.
