On April 13, I\u2019ll have the honor of speaking at PolicyLink\u2019s national Equity Summit 2018: Our Power. Our Future. Our Nation.<\/a><\/em> It\u2019s not surprising that the summit, taking place in Chicago, sold out due to unprecedented demand months ago. In this unique moment in our nation\u2019s history, leaders and practitioners, particularly in the social sector, are feeling the urgency of a call to action to advance equity and justice at a greater scale.<\/p>\n StriveTogether has embraced the importance of place from our inception. Leaders in our communities focus on achieving population-level results for the success of every child along the trajectory of birth to adulthood. These outcomes require intentional effort to support asset-based community development, authentic community ownership, and local data and experience.<\/p>\n Working to advance equity and justice \u2014 particularly racial equity \u2014 can seem daunting, overwhelming or downright impossible. Last month, we honored the memory of Linda Brown, who was the lead plaintiff in the landmark desegregation case Brown v. Board of Education<\/em>, and this week we remembered the assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.<\/a> We have a long journey ahead to dismantle structural racism and design stronger systems of inclusion \u2014 and transformative change has no clear roadmap and endpoint.<\/p>\n Instead of being paralyzed by the breadth of change required, we coach local partnerships at every stage of development in the StriveTogether Cradle to Career Network to integrate various aspects of equity into the core elements of their work.<\/p>\n We have seen powerful examples across the Network<\/a> in reducing racial disparities, authentically involving community and advancing policy change for lasting change. As I prepare to share some lessons from a decade of place-based work from the StriveTogether Cradle to Career Network, I am encouraged by our communities\u2019 passion and commitment to equity and results. And I continue to search for ways to shrink the change<\/a> to make large-scale change feel more manageable. Here are three ways you can start (or keep) acting differently to advance racial and economic equity in your place-based work.<\/p>\n These are just a few ways communities across the StriveTogether Cradle to Career Network are advancing equity and justice. I look forward to making race equity even more explicit in our work as a necessary step toward our vision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Conversations about equity, diversity and inclusion are popular in the organizations and systems where StriveTogether interacts, and I\u2019ve been thinking a lot about this question: What will it take to make racial and economic equity the work itself instead of part of the work?
