About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

In the wake of a national reckoning on race, federal agencies across the United States undertook ambitious efforts to address deep-rooted inequities and build a more just future. From embedding racial equity into policy design to developing frameworks for institutional accountability, these initiatives represented some of the most forward-thinking racial equity work in the history of the federal government.

This powerful webinar offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from the former federal civil servants who helped lead and shape these efforts from the inside. These trailblazing leaders will share their stories of developing and implementing transformative programs aimed at repairing harm, closing racial disparities, and redefining the government's role as a driver of equity.

Through candid conversation, they will:

  • Reflect on the critical milestones and challenges of institutionalizing racial equity in federal agencies
  • Share behind-the-scenes insights about the strategies, tools, and relationships that made systemic change possible
  • Highlight programs and policies that set new standards for what equitable governance can look like
  • Discuss how momentum has shifted and what’s needed to sustain this work at the local, state, and grassroots levels today

Whether you’re a public servant, policymaker, advocate, or community leader, this webinar offers practical takeaways and deep inspiration for anyone committed to advancing racial justice in government systems.

Join us to learn from the past, understand the present, and build toward an equitable future.
