Racial Justice

Our Racial Justice initiatives aim to make sure all of us have access and support to thrive from childhood to retirement. We're focused on community impact, comprehensive policy advocacy, and Reparations.

The City of Boston and the Equity and Inclusion Cabinet are committed to eliminating racial disparities and the legacy of racism: a key determinant in the disparate life outcomes and indicators of success for residents of Boston’s Communities of Color. We lead efforts to help Boston achieve racial justice through integrating racial equity into every layer of operations in City government.

The Equity and Inclusion Cabinet's Racial Justice team is offering grants of up to $50,000 to Boston nonprofits that help residents know their rights and connect to the City, state, and federal resources already available to them. Funded work can include Know Your Rights workshops, nonpartisan voter education, and outreach on fair housing, language access, and disability rights.
