Overview

Our team of bold, focused and interdependent racial equity leaders drives culture change throughout the City enterprise.

We work to integrate racial equity concerns into all levels of City policy and practice. Our goal is to improve the lives of residents by dismantling systemic disparities and institutionalized racism.

We collaborate with City staff and community members to: 

• Reduce disparities for residents who are transgender or from communities of color 
• Foster community and government partnerships to craft innovative solutions 
• Create capacity-building tools to help staff, leaders, elected officials and residents understand issues of equity 
• Build advisory bodies so staff and residents can inform decision-making on policies to reduce racial and transgender disparities
