Racial Equity Plans are both a process and a product. A successful process will build staff capacity which can be valuable during implementation. A process can also serve to familiarize more staff with the jurisdiction’s racial equity vision and its theory of change. This manual from GARE provides guidance for local governments to develop their own Racial Equity Action Plans after a period of research and information gathering. This manual also provides guidance and tools to conduct this research.

Investing in Equality: Integrating LGBT Issues into Total Portfolio Activation
This white paper from Trilium Asset Management provides a framework for investors to expand the scope of impact in LGBT issues across asset classes in their portfolios. The authors believe that all investments have impact, regardless of asset class, and that individual and institutional investors alike should consider how best to achieve their financial goals while leveraging their investments in a way that aligns with their mission and values. The goal of this report is that investors use the resources and case studies in this white paper as a guide for identifying investment opportunities that advance LGBT rights and equality.
