About Equiticity

The Research Question: What happens when we turn on the Power and Equity moves like electricity through our homes, streets, neighborhoods and cities? EQUITICITY Power + Equity > Purpose: Equiticity is a racial equity movement. We move through time and space programming and advocating for racial equity, increased mobility and racial justice to make lives better for Black, Brown and Indigenous people of color (BBIPOC) across the United States. Problem: Low- to moderate-income (LMI) communities of color across the United States are the most inequitably, disproportionately and adversely impacted by violence, healthcare disparities, unemployment, poverty, over-policing and lack of mobility, after many decades of segregation and disinvestment. These factors, along with a stark lack of equity in the distribution of resources, have undermined the development of more liveable neighborhoods and cities for people of color. Vision: Equiticity’s vision is a mid- to large-size US city where racial equity is fully integrated at the policy and legislative levels into every function, department, resource and budget associated with the City’s operations, services and programs. We envision Equiticity creating a US city which serves as a global model for the rest of the world on how to normalize, prioritize and operationalize racial equity, as an equitably moving flow of resources contributing to reducing violence, improving health, creating jobs and ultimately making our neighborhoods and cities more liveable for people of color. Mission: Equiticity is a racial equity movement working to improve the lives of Black, Brown and Indigenous people of color by harnessing our collective power through programming and advocating for racial equity, increased mobility and racial justice across the US. Target Audience: We serve Black, Brown and Indigenous people of color and low- to moderate-income communities across the United States.
