Community-based coalition committed to equitable housing, jobs, environment, and transportation access.

关于我们

Action for Equity was formed in 2017 from the merger of Action for Regional Equity and On the Move for Transportation Justice. The coalition currently has 13 community organizational members. Its primary purpose is to create and implement policies to address the issue of race and class inequities. Bringing together advocates from housing, jobs, transportation and health, has allowed Action (led by people from impacted neighborhoods) to promote a holistic approach for reducing disparities faced by communities of color and low-income in the greater Boston region. As a coalition of community-based and social justice organizations, we are working to address structural racism and longstanding inequities and ensure that all people, and particularly people of color, have quality housing, good jobs and job access, environmental quality, and transportation access, among other things as steps to reach the society we want. Action is fighting for an equitable society where power is held by all, regardless of race, class and gender, as well as sexual orientation, age, faith, geography, or physical ability; where the disparities resulting from a history of embedded structural racism are not just gone, but people are made whole; where the benefits of our collective endeavors in government, community building, development, and progress in general are felt by all. We are fighting for a society in which the oppression of some is not used to benefit others and where neither race nor anything else is used as a dividing line.
