Building a Racially Just DC Together
We bring leaders, organizations, and communities across the District together to create long-term strategies for racial justice. Join us in building a city where race and ethnicity no longer determine who thrives.
Who We Are
Anti-Racist DC is a Black-led campaign advancing racial justice across the District. Since 2022, we’ve convened leaders and residents from every corner of the city to align around one goal: building systems, policies, and practices that ensure equity for all.
What Anti-racism Means to Us
These six areas are where we focus our efforts to dismantle structural racism in DC. They serve as pillars in our broader racial justice strategy to build a more just, liberated future for all:
DC Autonomy
Securing full self-governance for DC residents.
Health Justice
Eliminating racial disparities in health access, care, and outcomes.
Housing Justice
Safe, affordable, and equitable housing for all residents.
Educational Justice
Schools that affirm every child and equitably educate all students.
Economic Justice
Closing income and wealth gaps while creating pathways to prosperity.
Youth

Racial justice takes collaboration. We’re proud to work alongside organizations across DC that share our commitment to building a more equitable city.
Our Impact in Action
In April 2025, we hosted Shaping Our Future: DC’s Cross-Sector Social Justice Summit, bringing together more than 250 representatives from labor, government, nonprofits, philanthropy, healthcare, education, media, and the arts. The Summit showed what’s possible when DC comes together — and laid the foundation for the work ahead.
