What happens when we turn on the Power, & Equity moves like electricity through our streets, neighborhoods, and cities?
About us
The Research Question: What happens when we turn on the Power and Equity moves like electricity through our homes, streets, neighborhoods and cities? EQUITICITY Power + Equity > Purpose: Equiticity is a racial equity movement. We move through time and space programming and advocating for racial equity, increased mobility and racial justice to make lives better for Black, Brown and Indigenous people of color (BBIPOC) across the United States. Problem: Low- to moderate-income (LMI) communities of color across the United States are the most inequitably, disproportionately and adversely impacted by violence, healthcare disparities, unemployment, poverty, over-policing and lack of mobility, after many decades of segregation and disinvestment. These factors, along with a stark lack of equity in the distribution of resources, have undermined the development of more liveable neighborhoods and cities for people of color. Vision: Equiticity’s vision is a mid- to large-size US city where racial equity is fully integrated at the policy and legislative levels into every function, department, resource and budget associated with the City’s operations, services and programs. We envision Equiticity creating a US city which serves as a global model for the rest of the world on how to normalize, prioritize and operationalize racial equity, as an equitably moving flow of resources contributing to reducing violence, improving health, creating jobs and ultimately making our neighborhoods and cities more liveable for people of color. Mission: Equiticity is a racial equity movement working to improve the lives of Black, Brown and Indigenous people of color by harnessing our collective power through programming and advocating for racial equity, increased mobility and racial justice across the US. Target Audience: We serve Black, Brown and Indigenous people of color and low- to moderate-income communities across the United States.

📢 Update: Unfortunately, we must cancel Monday's MLK Day Racial Justice Ride due to severe weather. Safety is our top priority with zero-degree highs and -15 to -35-degree windchill. 🌬️ Instead, join us indoors at Lawndale Christian, 10 am, for hot chocolate, tea, and baked goods. 🍵🍪 We'll also be screening the documentary short, “MLK in Chicago”, followed by a discussion around his work in Chicago. To top it off, enjoy delicious jambalaya by Bishop Steve Braxton, Founder & CEO of National Clergy Fellowship Outreach. 🍲 We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. Your safety and support mean the world to us.
