Building off the work of our program, Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE), CSI is officially teaming up with the National League of Cities to expand our work organizing local government jurisdictions to advance racial equity.
We’ll be working specifically with Race, Equity, And Leadership (REAL)–an initiative of NLC–whose mission is to strengthen the knowledge and capacity of local elected officials to eliminate racial disparities, heal racial tensions, and build more equitable communities.
With REAL focusing on elected officials and GARE focusing on government appointed officials and employees, we will leverage our respective strengths and relationships while lifting up each other’s work nationally. Building on the work of several successful national efforts like State Leagues, REAL and GARE will collaborate on building tools and resources that will create meaningful government action to advance racial equity.
