Creating Racial and Ethnic Equity in Development- Launch & Call to Action
Join us for the launch of the Coalition for Racial and Ethnic Equity in Development (CREED).
Join us for the official launch of the Coalition for Racial and Ethnic Equity in Development (CREED) Tuesday, February 22nd at 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm EST.
CREED is a collective of international development and humanitarian assistance organizations based in the United States committed to building racial and ethnic equity (REE). We pledge to advance racial and ethnic diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging within our own organizations’ policies, systems, and culture in keeping with attainable and measurable goals; and work to instill REE in international development.
Leaders from over thirty large, medium and small for-profit and not-for-profit U.S.-based organizations working in international development and humanitarian assistance joined forces to create CREED and develop the REE pledge starting in April 2021. We have worked collaboratively with the intention of building personal as well as organizational responsibility for strengthening REE in our organizations and sector.
The event serves as a Call to Action for international development and humanitarian assistance organizations to commit to building racial and ethnic equity by signing the CREED REE pledge. The event features the following dignitaries and senior leaders who will discuss advancing racial and ethnic equity from their vantage points.
- Congresswoman Barbara Lee
- Erin Brown, USAID Acting Chief DEIA Officer
- Garfield A. Bowen, 3M Vice President, Social Justice Strategy and Initiatives
- Tracey L. France, MCC Chief Diversity Officer
- Algene Sajery, DFC Vice President for External Affairs/Head, Global Gender Equity Initiatives
- Moderator: Raj Kumar, Devex President and Editor-in-Chief
The event will also feature CREED’s Founder/Chair Indira Ahluwalia and CREED Core Team Leaders who will address how the CREED pledge will help the development community to achieve its goals around REE and encourage other organizations to join.
Once you register, you will be sent a formal link to the live virtual event and be given instructions on how to join.
We look forward to seeing you there!
