[Discussion list for COMM-ORG]

The Center for Assessment and Policy Development (CAPD) and

MP Associates are excited to announce:

www.racialequitytools.org

Racial Equity Tools is a new Web site designed for people and groups 
across sectors and at all levels in the work of promoting racial equity. 
It is intended to help you encourage and support transformative change 
within communities, organizations, systems and individuals.

What’s in it?

Racial Equity Tools includes more than 400 resources and links to help 
people understand, talk about and act intentionally and effectively to 
advance racial equity. There are also tips, suggestions and reflection 
questions, and a glossary of important terms. We thank the many people 
who contributed content and ideas (listed in Acknowledgements). The 
content includes 59 subject areas organized into four main sections: 
Essential Concepts and Issues, Assessing and Learning, Planning and 
Implementing, and Sustaining and Refining.



For example, Assessing and Learning includes Learning about a 
Community’s History of Racial Dynamics as well as a tip sheet on Laying 
Out Your Assumptions: Understanding Your Theory of Change. Sustaining 
and Refining includes resources about creating a learning community and 
resources to help you address resistance and retrenchment.

Racial Equity Tools also links to additional resources via 
www.evaluationtoolsforracialequity.org. Both sites, like the field, are 
works in progress. We welcome feedback, insights and additional resources.

Please share this announcement with your colleagues via email, Web 
sites, listservs, newsletters and other means. Thank you.



This Web Site is funded primarily by The Charles Stewart Mott 
Foundation, with additional support from the Annie E. Casey Foundation 
and Everyday Democracy.
