Advancing Racial Justice and Equity in Public Policy

The Urban Institute will host a virtual conversation on February 11, 2022 from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. ET which will discuss how data, evidence, and analyses can advance social and economic policies that can help remedy persistent structural racism. This event, moderated by the Urban Institute’s Office of Race and Equity Research, will feature key contributors from The Black Agenda: Bold Solutions for a Broken System, the first collection of essays penned by Black scholars and experts across public policy, economics, education, health, climate, and technology. The discussion, centered on elevating Black expertise and experience, will explore how equity-focused leaders can leverage data to design and inform race-conscious solutions.
