This chapter explores racial conflict and peace leadership in the United States. It places the alleviation of racial inequality within the framework of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It offers a model developed by Johnson and Benslimane for race relations and national identity in social movements in the United States. The model categorizes social movements on a continuum from white to multiracial nationalism, identifies the latter as anti-racist, and argues that anti-racist organizing is necessary to achieve racial peace. The model is applied to a case from Whatcom County in the state of Washington. In that instance, the Indigenous Lummi Nation collaborated with a regional environmental organization, RE-Sources for Sustainable Community, to defeat the building of a port to export coal from the United States to the Far East. It concludes by positing that this model for anti-racist organizing can be applied globally
