About the Districtwide Racial Equity Action Plan

The Districtwide Racial Equity Action Plan (REAP) maps out steps DC government will take to reduce inequities and improve life for all Washingtonians. REAPs can help turn ideas and theories into action to achieve our shared vision of a racially equitable DC.

Thank you to all of the community members who submitted a comment. We will be reviewing all community input over the coming weeks for incorporation into the Racial Equity Action Plan (REAP).

ORE has hosted five open public forums (three of which were in partnership with offices within the Mayor's Office of Community Affairs) where residents could provide feedback on the draft plan. Each forum was an interactive workshop that included an introduction to ORE’s work, a presentation on the plan’s outline and goals, and small conversation groups on the plan’s goals and potential measures of racial equity in the District (racial equity indicators).

After hosting all public meetings and reviewing comments provided by the public, ORE will present the final inaugural plan to the Mayor. It will then be transmitted to the DC Council and posted to the ORE website.
