Equity Action Team

Equity Action Team

The Equity Action Team (EAT) is the community surrounding the Equity Office. 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. 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!

Equity Action Team Meetings

Everyone is welcome to join the EAT! As a member, your responsibility is to attend and bring your community with you. During our meetings, we hear from community members and City staff to understand community needs and City projects and work together to produce better outcomes for all. See below for our upcoming meetings; we hope to see you there!
