Day 3 Concurrent Session - What's Your Equity Footprint?
It is not enough for foundations to simply avoid inequitable practices in a society premised on white supremacy and patriarchy; rather, foundations must consciously dedicate themselves to centering equity in all facets of their institutions’ work.

While high-profile reparation efforts garner media attention, many local restitution efforts often lack greater support and cross-sector awareness. The U.S. African American Redress Network is an innovative model for scholars and advocates to further groundbreaking work in activism and to promote redress for U.S. historical racial injustices.
