Structural Inequity Panel: RASE Commission Progress
Commission on racial and structural equity: Report Implementation Progress and Prospects
The Commission on Racial and Structural Equity (RASE) was appointed in August 2020 by the Mayor and County Executive. The charge of the commission was to review local city and county laws, policies, and ordinances to identify areas of structural inequity and recommend ways to change those laws to achieve fair application for all citizens. Involved in the Commission’s work were three Co-Chairs, 21 Commissioners, and more than 200 community members who reviewed, discussed, and put forth more than 200 recommendations aimed at dismantling structural inequities across nine sectors of our city and county.
