Systemic racism is one of the biggest contributors to poverty, crime, under-education and poor health outcomes in our state. While it’s invisible to the majority, it’s affects are devastating to communities of color. Founded in 2015, the Delaware Racial Justice Collaborative (DRJC) exists to end systemic racism in Delaware.
Today, the DRJC is a diverse group of more than 200 individuals and organizations working to make Delaware better for all people. Together, we work to undo policies and practices that limit opportunities for people of color. We give children and young people access to the skills and resources they need to graduate on-time and succeed in the workforce. Above all, we encourage everyone, regardless of race, to take a stand against injustice in Delaware.
We are working every day to create more equity and opportunity for communities of color in the following areas:
- Criminal Justice
- Education
- Wealth Creation
- Health Equity
- Public Policy
- Youth & Young Adult Development
