Imagine walking beside a river with a friend and seeing babies floating by you in the water. You jump into the water to pull the babies out, but every time you save one, several more slip past you. Meanwhile, your friend continues walking upriver. \u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d you exclaim. \u201cFinding out who\u2019s throwing babies in the water,\u201d your friend replies.<\/p>\n

Such was the parable shared by Deborah Santiago of Excelencia of Education as she recounted a conversation with a friend about how to frame inequity as systemic. Instead of simply treating the symptoms of inequity, we need to change the structural forces that perpetuate it.<\/p>\n

Santiago was one of many expert speakers at a regional summit on racial equity<\/a> held last month by Grantmakers for Education in Washington, D.C. The summit was filled with people from many of our country\u2019s top grant-making institutions. And despite the racial diversity at the summit \u2014 a scenario that would not have been possible in previous decades \u2014 more work needs to be done to reach grassroots organizations that might not have access to a room like that. Diversity alone doesn\u2019t get to power issues without equity and inclusion.<\/p>\n

At StriveTogether, we believe improving education and upward mobility in the U.S. requires closing gaps and transforming the multitude of systems that shape opportunity for every child. In other words, we are working to find out who\u2019s throwing babies in the water. Those of us working to make measurable differences in the lives of students and families \u2014 to ultimately create a better, more equitable world \u2014 also need to agree on a common vision of what that looks like. To Michelle Molitor of The Equity Lab, the summit\u2019s moderator, equity is about all lives having value and therefore investing in everyone.<\/p>\n

With that goal in mind, here are three other key takeaways from the summit:<\/p>\n
