When funders, public entities, and nonprofit organizations design a strategy to change systems, it is imperative to integrate an equity lens—striving to eradicate structural and racial inequities that serve as barriers to that change, and incorporating the perspectives and lived experiences of everyone with a vital stake in the outcome.
This SSIR Live! program will explore:
- How different organizations, in different communities, define equity in the context of systems change
- Ways to effectively integrate an equity lens into systems change initiatives, and what that looks like at different stages of a community systems change initiative
- Practical experiences of community organization leaders
