<h2>Becoming a Redesigner of Justice</h2><p><a href="https://crxlab.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Creative Reaction Lab</a> is cultivating a new type of leader to address the exclusion and inequities in our communities; these leaders are called Redesigners for Justice.™ There are two groups of Redesigners for Justice™: Equity Designers and Design Allies. Equity Designers are those with living expertise in a subject matter, whereas Design Allies support, uplift, and center the voices of communities of which they do not have said living expertise.</p><p>Both groups of Redesigners for Justice™ perform the following:</p><ul><li>Put people and racial + ethnic equity first</li><li>Work through the lens of failure — always iterating, making and improving interventions</li><li>Build upon the existing resources available within their organizations/communities to create change</li></ul><p>You can be an Equity Designer in one context and a Design Ally in another. These identities are context-dependent. Redesigners for Justice™ also practice intrapreneurship, social entrepreneurship, and community organizing.</p><h2>About Antionette Carroll</h2><p><a href="https://www.antionettecarroll.design/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Antionette D.
