Central Texas Collective for Racial Equity Details
In November 2016, Mayor Steve Alder announced the formation of a task force comprised of several local representatives from business, education, and criminal justice to address institutional racism in Austin. The task force members formed five working groups to focus in key areas: Education; Real Estate & Housing; Health; Finance, Banking, & Industry; and Civil & Criminal Justice.Mayor Alder asked Dr. Colette Pierce Burnette, Huston-Tillotson University President, and Dr. Paul Cruz, Austin ISD Superintendent, to lead the effort in collaboration with over 200 community members. Collectively, the task force developed more than 200 recommendations that would attempt to create transparency in law enforcement, provide funding for housing inequalities, and provide a path to review Austin's governmental policies that may perpetuate the systemic inequities.One of the recommendations included the creation of a nonprofit organization to continue the work to develop, implement and evaluate the racial equity goals for the Central Texas region in collaboration with community partners.
