Many cities are working to advance racial equity at the local level and are looking for ideas and resources. AWC’s Equity Resource Guide serves as a starting point for cities seeking to do the intentional work of improving diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) in their communities.

The guide provides select tools and resources to inspire all communities—including those that may not otherwise know where to begin. The information in this guide looks at local government and explores opportunities to use an equity lens to highlight historical disparities and provide ideas for future improvements—no matter your city’s size or location.
