Our Initiatives

Multiracial Leadership Development

Problem

This generation of young people are hungry for tectonic shifts to racial and income injustices and need to be grounded in what came before them so that they can responsibly carry the baton in the relay race for justice.

SOLUTION

Just Cities operates leadership development for future planning and policy leaders that call forth our beauty and brilliance, raise consciousness of structural causes of injustice, and facilitate collective design of solutions.  Examples of the people we have supported include:

• UC Berkeley Goldman School of Public Policy and City and Regional Planning teaching and community projects to train next gen planning and policy leaders on racial justice and healing.

• Policy & Outreach Leaders are Alameda County formerly incarcerated people or family members leading the policy design, organizing campaign, and policy implementation of the nation’s best fair chance housing laws in Alameda County.  

• Ron Dellums & June Jordan Racial Justice Bridge Fellows are multi-racial UC Berkeley graduates who aspire to advance racial and social justice in their professional lives.
