The Applied Research Center invites you to be part of the California Racial Equity Initiative, a statewide effort to advance a vision of racial justice that focuses on racial equity outcomes, strives for equity, enfranchisement and economic justice for all, invests in opportunity and advancement, and strengthens protections against racial violence, racial profiling, and discrimination. CREI’s efforts include: * Advancing a proactive racial justice agenda that benefits communities of color and low-income communities, counters the ongoing curtailment of civil rights and promotes racial equity; * Building a racial justice alliance among civil rights, immigrant rights, religious, labor, and community organizations, and * Developing an inventory of model racial justice polices and political action tools that can be used to hold decision makers accountable to racial equity principles.
