Highlights from our 4th Racial Equity Here Cohort meeting in Austin Texas!

April 19, 2017

nora-liu-300x200CSI’s core program, Government Alliance on Race and Equity, is partnering with Living Cities on Racial Equity Here, a project to advance racial equity in five cities (Albuquerque, New Mexico; Austin, Texas; Grand Rapids, Michigan; Louisville, Kentucky; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) Nora Liu, pictured here, is the Project Manager of Racial Equity Here.  

The Racial Equity Here cohort just returned from a high energy, interactive and productive fourth convening in Austin!  Each of the five cities is moving forward on game-changing work to advance racial equity:

  • Power of Leadership:  The Mayor of Grand Rapids, Michigan is passionately leading with a racial equity vision and the City Manager is aligned to operationalize it.
  • Strategic Planning:  In Albuquerque, New Mexico, the team is strategically planning for this work to live on beyond the up-coming mayoral transition.
  • Internal Infrastructure:  In Louisville, Kentucky, the team has started training the entire 6,000-person staff, and the newly created Chief Equity Officer and Chief Resilience Officer will join Racial Equity Here leadership.
  • Structural Change:  One racial equity initiative in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania proposes to partner with trade unions to diversify their membership while renovating city-owned properties.
  • Community Partnership:  Austin, Texas’s new Chief Equity Office is convening community stakeholders to co-create their racial equity assessment tool.
