The Issues Racial Justice

Racial Justice

Our Approach

In the United States and beyond, institutional and structural racism maintains the oppression of some groups to benefit others. To achieve justice and equity, we invest in directly-impacted leaders and their communities and work on eliminating systems and policies that uphold the status quo.
