Policy

Transforming antiracist ideas into antiracist outcomes

Policy

The mission of the Policy Office is to identify racist policies and to ascertain, craft, and elevate evidence-based antiracist policies that can be embraced by communities, advanced by advocates, and implemented by policymakers and courts to create a more racially just and equitable society.

In the Policy Office, our work has three main focus areas:
  • Racial and Ethnic Data
  • Civil Rights
  • Mass Criminalization/Incarceration
