New report: Community Change Processes and Progress in Addressing Racial Inequities

[Discussion list for COMM-ORG]

From: "Maggie Potapchuk" <mpotapchuk at comcast.net>


Dear Colleague,

I would like to share a new report, Community Change Processes and 
Progress in Addressing Racial Inequities. This publication includes case 
studies of four community initiatives: in Charlotte, North Carolina; 
Long Island, New York; St. Cloud, Minnesota; and Seattle, Washington. It 
is our hope, by showcasing these initiatives, to begin to illustrate 
what is possible when a community makes this level of investment and 
commitment to address racial inequities comprehensively.

Over the long term, the racial equity field needs much more systematic 
and consistent support. This report identifies the kinds of capacities 
that are needed and demonstrates that, when they exist, significant 
progress can be made. If we want the field to advance, we need to 
encourage and sustain a community of practice around community change 
initiatives to address racial inequity.

The paper was produced by MP Associates, in partnership with the Aspen 
Institute Roundtable on Community Change, and was funded by the Annie E. 
Casey Foundation. You can download the report at www.mpassociates.us – 
look for the Tools and Publication tab. We look forward to your feedback.

Sincerely,

Maggie Potapchuk
