Equity Action Team

Equity Action Team

The Equity Action Team (EAT) is the community surrounding the Equity Division. Anybody who wants can join the EAT, whether they are City staff, a member of a local community organization, or just an individual who cares about advancing racial equity. The current roster is over 800 members. 

The EAT contains the individuals who organized and pushed for the creation of the Equity Office (now Equity Division of Austin Equity and Inclusion). Their first goal was helping the Office co-create the Equity Assessment Tool. Now, in monthly meetings, the EAT functions as a compass for the Office, ensuring we remain accountable to the community. Join us at our next meeting!
