The Expectation of Equity at the Local Government Level
Racial inequities have been created and sustained over time and will not disappear on their own. Tools must be used to change the policies, programs and practices that are perpetuating inequities.
To advance equity, government must focus not only on new programs, but also on altering existing policy and institutional strategies that have produced the inequities.
Community-focused efforts work to transform local government outreach and service delivery to the broader community.
