We work to shift mindsets, practices, and systems within the social sector to increase race equity.

关于我们

We work to shift mindsets, practices, and systems within the social sector to increase race equity. We believe in a future where nonprofit and philanthropic organizations define, implement and advance race equity internally while advocating and centering it in their work externally. OUR VISION We envision a future where nonprofit and philanthropic organizations adopt a Race Equity Culture? focused on proactive counteraction of social inequities. We must build a future where white dominant culture is dismantled within all social sector organizations, institutional and structural racism have been eliminated at all levels of nonprofit and philanthropic organizations, and race equity has been achieved within organizations, across the social sector, and in communities. OUR BELIEFS We focus on race equity explicitly, as research has demonstrated that doing so drives a measurable shift in equity across a range of intersectional identities (gender, sexuality, ability, et al.). The dominant culture which characterizes American society and, therefore, its nonprofit and philanthropic organizations is inextricably linked to policies and practices that elevate one race above others. This shows up in a myriad of different ways, but persistent racial outcomes gaps in health, income, education, and housing demonstrate structural inequity based on race. By focusing explicitly on race equity, we believe that our efforts will help organizations create race equity cultures within their organizations, and help center race equity work as a core goal of social sector organization's missions.

    “Everyone gains when you can breathe, when you are in community, when you care about how people show up with their whole selves.

    Hurricanes Milton and Helene have once again exposed the devastating impact of severe weather on BIPOC communities. From Hurricane Katrina to Hurricane Harvey, and Hurricane Maria, the same story repeats: systemic racism magnifies the damage. Communities of color bear the brunt of poor infrastructure, underinvestment, and inequitable recovery efforts. It’s time to act. Building a Race Equity Culture? isn't just about dismantling white supremacy – it's about transforming our communities to protect and save lives. ?? Visit https://lnkd.in/eyfjqWEs for organizations and mutual aid funds who need your support now. You will also find resources and information about what folks are currently experiencing on the ground, supply needs, and more. Shoutout to Grantmakers for Southern Progress for this list!

    • Racial Disparities in Hurricane Response and Relief. Hurricane Milton and Hurricane Helene have brought devastation to the South, leaving thousands without power and access to basic necessities. These storms are the most recent in a long list of natural disasters that have had disparate racial impacts.
    • BIPOC Communities Routinely Bear The Brunt of Severe Weather: Hurricane Katrina (2005) laid bare the stark racial segregation of New Orleans. Of the 7 zip codes with the most flood damage, 4 were at least 75% Black.
?
After Hurricane Harvey (2017), Black and Latino households were most devastated by flooding and most applied for FEMA aid that was disproportionately steered to whiter neighborhoods.

Hurricane Maria (2017) overwhelmed Puerto Rico’s power grid, leaving millions without power and running water for weeks.
    • Systemic Racism In Public Planning Has Fostered These Disasters: Decades of redlining have segregated BIPOC communities to household and public infrastructure in low lying neighborhoods vulnerable to flooding and severe weather disasters.

Chronic underinvestment in the infrastructure of BIPOC neighborhoods has resulted in cheaply made and archaic public utilities. This magnifies severe weather damage-such as poorly constructed levees in New Orleans, a lack of curbs and gutters in Houston, TX, and a decaying power grid in Puerto Rico.

BIPOC communities are done further injustice as recovery response and funding prioritizes white lives and communities. In Louisiana, many Black residents reported being passed over by evacuation helicopters. And in Texas, a federal government analysis concluded that the distribution of FEMA funds disproportionately favored whites - but did not order remediation.
    • What Can We Do? Building a Race Equity Culture? is about more than just dismantling white supremacy — it’s about transforming our institutions and communities. Racially equitable organizations reduce disparities, dismantle racist systems, and ultimately help save lives.

    “Because as Black women, our wisdom is unmatched. It is wisdom born of hope and rage, the discipline of joy, and a ‘why’ rooted in love, resistance, and solidarity. It comes from a deeply intimate understanding of the power and harm of the sectors we lead. And, most important, it is filtered through the lens of radical Black feminism, which dictates that any true movement for liberation must center those who have been pushed to the outermost edges of this country’s power structures.” In a time where a Black woman is running for the highest office in the U.S., these reflections on power, resilience, and the systemic toll of leadership on Black women couldn’t be more timely.
