Community Science is proud to present our latest blog post collaborations with Living Cities titled- Getting Ready for Racial Equity Work: Community Engagement and Getting Ready for Racial Equity Work: The Racial Equity Here Evaluation.
The Racial Equity Here (REH) initiative engaged and supported a cohort of five U.S. cities committed to improving racial equity in their jurisdictions by transforming policies and practices to address the inequities within their systems of government. Living Cities recruited the Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE), a joint project of Race Forward and the Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society, to provide training and technical assistance to these cities over a two-year period. During that time, the cities’ racial equity teams developed and implemented a capacity-building plan to dismantle institutional and structural racism and improve outcomes for all residents and, in particular, residents of color.
