Racial Equality

Systemic racism creates disparities in many success indicators including wealth, the criminal justice system, employment, housing, healthcare, politics and education. Elected officials at every level from local to state to federal can help to change systems that create and maintain racial inequality.  Affirmative action programs and the Equal Opportunity Act were created initially as a result of Executive Order given by the President.  Changes have been made to those programs at the state level by ballot referendums and legislation.

​

Every vote for every office can have an impact on improving racial equality.
