What We're Doing
Promote executive actions advancing racial equity and justice
We propose recommendations for federal, state, and local executive branches to adopt robust racial equity policies and ensure agencies are equipped to implement these policies effectively.
Develop a racial equity and justice legislative platform
We coalesce around and promote key legislative actions to garner tangible reforms during this Congress.
Cultivate private sector racial equity and justice initiatives
We partner with the private sector to champion solutions to address the root causes of racial wealth and opportunity gaps and strengthen the case for such solutions to be enacted and scaled by local, state, and federal leaders.
Change the conversation on racial equity and justice
We seek to fundamentally change Americans’ understanding of current and historic structural barriers that have long shut out communities of color from our economic, political, and social systems, building support for both long-term and systemic reforms.
