Community of practice

In 2023, Philadelphia launched a Racial Equity Community of Practice led by City employees, for City employees. The group is interested in understanding, influencing, workshopping, and sharing policies and programs to maximize racial equity impact in City government.

The Racial Equity Community of Practice meets monthly. It’s facilitated by the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and directed by a leadership team.
