Race Forward is proud to announce the launch of the Federal Initiative
to Govern for Racial Equity
[link removed]
. The program, a partnership with PolicyLink
[link removed]
, is in direct response to President Biden's Executive Order On
Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through
the Federal Government
[link removed]
and will provide strategic support, learning opportunities, frameworks,
and tools for change through ongoing dialogue with federal agencies. The
goal of the program is to create sustainable change for racial equity in
federal government structure, policy and practice.
"We are proud to partner with PolicyLink on this important work," stated
Glenn Harris, President of Race Forward and Publisher of Colorlines, who
helped establish the first racial equity program in local government in
Seattle decades ago. "This mandate from President Biden for a
whole-of-government approach toward racial equity is a critical step in
advancing a multiracial democracy that realizes our highest ideals."
Federal agencies have begun the early stages of this monumental work and
are assessing their state of equity. Additionally, the White House has
published its first " Study to Identify Methods to Assess Equity
[link removed]
." Given the expressed commitment of the Administration and the critical
need to advance this mission, Race Forward's Federal Initiative to
Govern for Racial Equity program will support this work drawing from the
wealth of experience developed within our GARE ( Government Alliance on
Race and Equity
[link removed]
), a member driven network consisting of close to 400 jurisdictions and
agencies that have been building a practice of racial equity in
government, some for almost two decades.
As part of the launch, over the course of 10-12 weeks Race Forward and
PolicyLink will build on the racial equity efforts of three to five
agencies and/or major programs within agencies. This program is expected
to create opportunities for other agencies and departments to
participate in shared learning and understanding about racial equity
policies and practices.

"HGTV home renovation shows are my favorite –– I especially love the
before and after results. As a homeowner, watching these shows has
elevated my decorating game; I occasionally give my input when working
with contractors applying the knowledge I've gained. My list includes
Christina on the Coast, Property Brothers, Masters of Flip, and Windy
City Rehab."
