    Unpacking the “DEI Hire” Attacks on Kamala Harris

    Read Time: 3 minutes On July 21, 2024, President Biden released a statement saying he would suspend his presidential campaign and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for president. It took conservative pundits and media little time to relentlessly attack Harris on the basis of her race and gender, labeling her a “DEI hire.” The attacks are rooted in a history of sexist and racist attacks on Harris dating back to her campaign for the presidency in 2019. And, the foundation for these attacks lies in the structural and systemic racism, and the deep-seated patriarchy, that are endemic to our nation’s history.

    Move Beyond Acknowledgment: Reparative Relationships with Indigenous Communities

    Read Time: 3 minutes Leading with our values of being Pro-Indigenous and Pro-Black, Equity In The Center (EIC) remains inspired by the possibility of working into a Pro-Indigenous framework for our collective liberation. To that end, we recently shared a video explaining our practice of paying a land tax to the Piscataway Conoy, whose land we occupy in the Washington, DC region. EIC allocates 2% of our annual budget for this purpose, and encourages colleagues to redistribute resources as part of a broader commitment to take action in solidarity with Indigenous communities.

    Read Time: 3 minutes Published in 2018, Awake to Woke to Work®: Building a Race Equity Culture™ couples the case for organizations centering race equity with an actionable framework (the Race Equity Cycle®) and concrete next steps. Since then and over 71,000 downloads later, we continue to build the social sector’s capacity to operationalize race equity. In 2021, we introduced the Race Equity Cycle Pulse Check™, an assessment for organizations to determine where they are on the Race Equity Cycle® and that provides action steps to move from one stage to the next. Initially launched as a free resource, the Pulse Check has been utilized by over 50 organizations, and was determined to be a robust, valid tool when evaluated in 2023. We have complemented our resources and tools with programmatic supports, including training, coaching, cohort programs and a network for race equity practitioners.
