This site defines racial equity as “the condition that would be achieved if one’s racial identity no longer predicted, in a statistical sense, how one fares. When we use the term, we are thinking about racial equity as one part of racial justice, and thus we also include work to address root causes of inequities, not just their manifestation. This includes elimination of policies, practices, attitudes, and cultural messages that reinforce differential outcomes by race or fail to eliminate them.”

To start to pivot, one might imagine what a racially equitable world would look like – what kinds of laws and policies would be in place? How would people relate to each other differently? What are new stories and impressions that could be discussed by mass media or reinforced through popular culture?

Conceptual information about racial equity is included in this section along with people and groups imagining equitable futures and discussing racial justice
