Racial Equity

Racial justice envisions eliminating racial hierarchies to achieve collective liberation, where all groups have the power and resources to thrive. Racial justice is the goal. Striving for racial equity is essential to reaching that goal. Catalyst Miami’s power-building work is rooted in racial equity and pursues racial justice. Our initiatives seek to create tangible, measurable benefits for people of color to ultimately achieve a fair society free from racism.
