We convene people across all sectors into collaborative spaces for racial justice movement building.
We provide training to help people develop skills and strategies to understand, challenge, and address structural and institutional racial inequities.
We develop toolkits to provide guidance for building collaborative racial equity strategies, cultures, and practices.
We offer analysis of how systemic racism leads to inequitable outcomes in different areas and highlight ways to foster and strengthen social change.

An initiative aimed at creating sustained racial equity change across the federal government. FIRE helps federal partners to organize for and operationalize racial equity.

Through the practice of sharing connected and ongoing stories across multiple mediums and platforms, we are able to build a powerful narrative that reinforces the need for a just, multiracial democracy while countering harmful narratives.
