How the Government Can Advance Equity
Haas Institute Senior Fellow Julie Nelson, Director of the Government Alliance on Race and Equity, was featured in a three-part interview with Living Cities on how the government can take steps to address racial inequity and advance it for the betterment of citizens. As Nelson mentioned in part one, "The goal is not just to eliminate the gap between whites and people of color, but to increase our collective success." Nelson notes that not only can government be a powerful force for equity, but it can advance equity through government innovation. These changes can be made at the local government level, and there are at least four entry points to begin this work. Read part one, part two, and part three on the Living Cities website.
