Racial Equity Resources
The Center for Assessment and Policy Development (CAPD) and MP Associates have released Racial Equity Tools, a new website designed for people and groups across sectors and at all levels in the work of promoting racial equity. It is intended to help users encourage and support transformative change within communities, organizations, systems and individuals.
Racial Equity Tools includes more than 400 resources and links to help people understand, talk about and act intentionally and effectively to advance racial equity. There are also tips, suggestions and reflection questions, and a glossary of important terms. The content includes 59 subject areas organized into four main sections: Essential Concepts and Issues, Assessing and Learning, Planning and Implementing, and Sustaining and Refining.
Racial Equity Tools can be accessed online at www.racialequitytools.org
The site links to additional resources for tracking progress and assessing racial equity work found on Evaluation Tools for Racial Equity website, which can be found at www.evaluationtoolsforracialequity.org
There is also a section on the Discovery website devoted to this issue. You can find the Racial and Economic Equity page under the "Tools for Community Work" main section, by clicking on the "Collaboration" subsection. If you have resources to share that have worked in your community, please post them to the listserv or contact Donna Studdiford at studdiford@onpointconsulting.org
