Council Office of Racial Equity

Our work builds on many who came before us and many who work alongside us. We spark conversation that leads with racial equity, is open-minded, and is brave.

CORE has a Racial Equity Impact Assessment database! Check it out to view completed REIAs, learn if CORE thinks a proposed bill will advance racial equity or increase racial inequity, and how a bill of interest will impact you and your community! https://t.co/F7RSImNaCW

That’s all for today! As a reminder, the DC Council has to vote twice (known as a “first reading” and “final reading”) for all proposed permanent legislation.

See the Council Calendar for more information on the next legislative meeting! https://t.co/d7owR50Uqx

Bill 25-0049 will 1) likely improve the administration of LRSP, 2) have an inconclusive impact on administrative burden for residents in the District, and 3) likely harm housing outcomes for Black residents who participate in LRSP. https://t.co/veTs0xK9uw

Bill 25-0658 permanently changes the process and calculations for tax abatements on real property taxes for housing development in Downtown DC. The bill will have an inconclusive impact on housing outcomes for Black, Indigenous, and residents of color. https://t.co/uXya4U44BF
