Race Forward Racial Equity Impact Assessment and Guide
A Racial Equity Impact Assessment (REIA) is a systematic examination of how different racial and ethnic groups will likely be affected by a proposed action or decision. REIAs are used to minimize unanticipated adverse consequences in a variety of contexts, including the analysis of proposed policies, institutional practices, programs, plans and budgetary decisions. The REIA can be a vital tool for preventing institutional racism and for identifying new options to remedy long-standing inequities. Five examples of REIA uses are also included. The REIA and Guide were developed in 2009 by Terry Keleher of Race Forward.

Dallas Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation is Dallas Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation is proud to announce the inaugural Black Women in Nonprofit Leadership Cohort. Supported by community partners of Dallas, the Black Women in Nonprofit Leadership Cohort was developed to support Black women who are recognized as top leaders within the nonprofit sector offering innovative strategies and leadership making great impact for the communities they serve, but often times passed over for new jobs or promotions in favor of others—including men of color, white women, and white men—with comparable or even lower credentials.

These challenges require a call to action where Black women can come to develop professionally and personally, build network with one another and within the sector, and have a safe healing space that provides opportunity for courageous conversations and the ability to turn-off the code switch often required to be successful in the nonprofit sector.

Beginning January 21st, our Black women leaders will be participating in a 12-month cohort that provides training, education and support on issues related to mental health and Black women navigating the nonprofit sector.

Welcome to these amazing women leaders. #DallasTRHT #HowWeHeal #BWNP2021
In 2020, we all experienced one of the most impact In 2020, we all experienced one of the most impactful years of our lifetimes. Our collective loss during this pandemic has only been exacerbated by the racial disparities in COVID-19 infection rates, hospitalizations, recovery, testing, deaths and now vaccinations.

2020's Presidential election has further exposed the racism that continues to divide the United States, complete with racist policies and statements directly from the White House.

We also have had to repeatedly reckon with racism and violence from institutions, particularly policing, as we all witnessed the traumatic events that took George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Rayshard Brooks and so many others away from us.

The common theme in all these events is racism. The questions I challenge myself with are "what will I do about it?" and "what will we do about it?"

2020 has made clear the work we have to recommit to in 2021. We have seen statues come down and names be changed, but we have so much more to do. In 2021, Dallas TRHT is growing our staff, expanding our work and reach, and we are fervently committed to the radically inclusive work of racial equity and racial healing. Join Dallas TRHT and recommit to learning and creating more expansive narratives, building relationships and community healing, and creating the world we all need through racially equitable policies and practices!

This work is for all of us to do.
