Leveraging Data to Cultivate Equity on a Global Scale
The Racial Equity Consciousness Database (RECD) is a centralized platform that provides structured resources, research, and best practices to empower communities and organizations in advancing racial equity and addressing systemic racism.
The Racial Equity Consciousness Database (RECD) initiative aims to address systemic racism by providing a comprehensive platform for accessing resources dedicated to advancing racial equity. This database supports the development of a vision-rich, globally comprehensive, process-oriented, accessible approach to advancing racial equity internationally. Racial equity is a process of eliminating racial disparities and improving outcomes for everyone and is an intentional and continual practice of changing policies, practices, systems, and structures by prioritizing measurable change in the lives of people of color.
The overarching goal of RECD Database is to provide communities with the resources necessary to empower them to realize a racially inclusive and equitable society.
By systematically categorizing and organizing racial equity resources, RECD Database seeks to empower communities to confront systemic racism effectively.
