| dc.description.abstract | Th e Equity Action Framework1 is designed to support individuals and groups that want to advance racial equity
in early childhood systems. Th e goal of a racial equity approach is to develop policies, practices, and programs that
provide opportunities, promote fairness and access, and remediate racial inequities.
Whether working at national, state, county, or municipal levels of government, in private-public partnerships,
community organizations, foundations or other entities, the Equity Action Framework provides an intentional
process for examining and addressing racial equity challenges or problems that contribute to inequity. Th is process
relies on identifying and engaging all stakeholders, including the intended benefi ciaries of policies, programs, and
interventions. Th e Equity Action Framework also can be used to support work between early childhood leaders
who want to advance racial equity across early childhood systems, such as health, mental health, early learning,
child welfare, or family support. | en_US |
