Through the Racial Justice Institute, we're developing a national network of advocates for race equity committed to advancing a coordinated racial justice advocacy agenda.
It is more important than ever for advocates for race equity to understand and address issues of race, implicit bias, and how to affirmatively advance racial equity.
The Racial Justice Institute is a groundbreaking national leadership program, grounded in a commitment to race-equity as an integral and essential part of anti-poverty advocacy. Following seven months of intensive training, Fellows join a national network of alumni who are advancing race equity all throughout the country. Read more about the history of the program and watch our new video.
Following completion of the program, Racial Justice Institute fellows join a network of more than 400 advocates working on race equity issues across the country. Members of the Racial Justice Institute Network continue to work in concert on several issues, including education equity and organizational alignment. Racial Justice Institute Fellows have also initiated statewide initiatives in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Florida, expanding and increasing the race equity movement on a national level.
Although the pathway to organizational change can be challenging, groundwork can lay a helpful footing.
By providing anti-poverty advocates with racial justice tools and concepts, RJI is transforming legal aid and public interest advocacy.
Now in its ninth year, this groundbreaking program equips anti-poverty advocates with tools to advance racial equity.
Understanding and using key constructs can help advocates better frame issues through a racial justice lens.
