The Government Alliance on Race and Equity  

is a national network of government working to achieve racial equity and advance opportunities for all. Across the country, governmental jurisdictions are making a commitment to achieving racial equity, focusing on the power and influence of their own institutions, and working in partnership with others

When this occurs, significant leverage and expansion opportunities emerge, setting the stage for the achievement of racial equity in our communities.

The Alliance provides a multi-layered approach:

  • We support a cohort of jurisdictions that are at the forefront of work to achieve racial equity. 
  • We develop a “pathway for entry” into racial equity work for new jurisdictions.
  • We support and build collaborations that are broadly inclusive and focused on achieving racial equity.
