The Race Matters Institute advances racial equity with solid data, comprehensive strategies, and knowledge of national and local settings. This empowers people and organizations to make real changes that effectively give rise to racial equity within their sphere of influence. RMI works strategically through networks and with other clients and partners to ensure that they have the frameworks, knowledge and tools they need to move forward.

True racial equity requires more than just the absence of willful discrimination. In a world like this, your ethnic background would not carry negative associations or presumptions in the minds of another. Your heritage would represent neither an advantage nor a disadvantage, but merely a distinction that implies no division. Examination of racial and ethnic data would no longer illustrate major societal inequality and racial disparity.

The Racial Matters Institute believes we can – if we commit ourselves to doing so, and if we understand that the task will be challenging and will take time. In a variety of companies, organizations and institutions, RMI cultivates the attitudes, understanding and action that bring about this change. Everyone benefits as a result. Organizations achieve more equitable and just environments, which produces consistently better performance. And with every small change, the nation moves closer to the vision of true racial equity.
