In January 2020, Mayor Jim Kenney signed Executive Order 1-20, which formalized the City’s racial equity strategy. The City will release a series of primers to:
- Share key concepts guiding the City’s racial equity strategy.
- Provide updates on City departments’ racial equity action plans.
- Spotlight policy and practice changes that aim to eliminate racial inequities in the City.
The goal of the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion’s (DEI) Primer Series is to provide regular updates to Philadelphians regarding the City’s approach to addressing racial injustice through government.
