About
RACIAL EQUITY POLICY: IN 2018, VOICES FOR RACIAL JUSTICE CONDUCTED AN ASSESSMENT OF OUR RESEARCH AND POLICY TOOLS WITH LEGISLATORS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS. A QUESTIONNAIRE WAS SENT TO 270 LEGISLATORS IN BOTH DIGITAL AND HARD COPIES. AN ONLINE SURVEY WAS SENT TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS, LOBBYISTS, POLICY ADVOCATES, LOCAL HEALERS AND ORGANIZERS. WE FOLLOWED UP THESE ASSESSMENTS WITH LEGISLATORS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN INDIVIDUAL AND SMALL GROUP GATHERINGS TO LEARN HOW OUR POLICY TOOLS COULD BE IMPROVED TO REFLECT THE NEEDS OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES. WE ALSO HELD MONTHLY POLICY GATHERINGS WITH LOBBYISTS, ORGANIZERS, HEALERS, AND LOCAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS THROUGHOUT THE 2018 LEGISLATIVE SESSION AS A WAY FOR DIFFERENT GROUPS TO COME TOGETHER TO DEMYSTIFY POLICY, TO LEARN ABOUT POLICY, AND TO SHARE STORIES ABOUT HOW THEIR WORK CONNECTS TO POLICY. IN JULY, WE HELD A GATHERING AT THE EASTSIDE FREEDOM LIBRARY IN SAINT PAUL IN COLLABORATION WITH THE PEOPLE'S MOVEMENT CENTER, A LOCAL ORGANIZATION OF HEALERS THAT WAS ATTENDED BY 60 PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY. THE GATHERING FOCUSED ON HEALING AND POLICY. WE ALSO BEGAN DISCUSSIONS WITH CIVIC EAGLE, A LOCAL ENTREPRENEURIAL TEAM THAT CREATES DIGITAL LEGISLATIVE TRACKING TOOLS TO DEFINE A COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIP TO PILOT THEIR LEGISLATIVE TRACKING TOOL DURING THE 2019 LEGISLATIVE SESSION.
