Introducing Keynote
Heather McGhee!
Heather designs and promotes solutions to inequality in
America. Over her career in public policy, Heather has
crafted legislation, testified before Congress and helped shape
presidential campaign platforms. Her book, “The Sum of Us:
What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper
Together,” spent 10 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list
and was longlisted for the National Book Award and Carnegie
Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction. Her 2020 TED talk,
“Racism Has a Cost for Everyone,” reached 1 million views
in just two months online. In the coming year, she will launch
an original podcast on how to create cross-racial solidarity in
challenging times.
For nearly two decades, Heather helped build the non-partisan
“think and do” tank Demos, serving four years as president.
Through her regular media appearances, she elevates the
concerns of working families on programs including NBC’s
“Meet the Press.”
She is the chair of the board of Color of Change, the country’s
largest online racial justice organization, and volunteers for
numerous other boards in the fields of philanthropy and
social justice. Heather graduated from Yale University and
the University of California Berkeley School of Law, and has
honorary degrees from Muhlenberg College and Niagara
University. She lives in Brooklyn with her urbanist husband,
a 20-year-old cat and a chatty toddler. For more information,

Why partner with Habitat?
By building and improving homes, Habitat for Humanity
creates strong, stable and thriving communities. In
addition to Habitat’s homebuilding and repair work,
we have the ability—and, now more than ever, the
responsibility—to advocate for sustainable and inclusive
programs, policies and systems that promote access to
safe, healthy and affordable homes. This is critical to
achieving Habitat’s vision of a world where everyone has
a decent place to live.
We invite you to join us in this important work by
partnering with us for the Western Region Conference.
