As we use this time of year to reflect on 2021, we’d like to share a summary of our work and thank you for your continued support of CLASP this year.
Advancing Racial Equity
In looking back over the year, we want to highlight the important work we’ve done to strengthen our commitment to racial equity, internally and externally, with attention to our operations, advocacy, and partnerships. In the last year we developed and finalized CLASP’s formal racial equity vision, values, and mission to inform our work externally and internally. We are also working to finalize a draft of CLASP’s first-ever Racial Equity Policy and Advocacy Framework to guide our external advocacy – including the topics we work on, our methods for analyzing and recommending policy, our approach to partnerships and collaborations, our technical assistance strategies, and much more.
