“I engage in racial equity and social justice work because — even if my organization is working on noble causes — if we are not intentionally addressing the apparatus and systems upholding white supremacy, those groups can never truly yield the outcomes they envision for everyone. Without an explicit focus on racial equity and social justice, at best case, we allow racial inequities to persist in society; and at worst case, the existing racial disparities will be exacerbated.”

Jared Joiner is the Manager of Learning Engineering at at the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative.
