PolicyLink is a national research and action institute, based in Oakland, California, advancing racial and economic equity by Lifting Up What Works®. PolicyLink is guided by the belief that the solutions to society’s challenges lie with those closest to these challenges: when the wisdom, voice, and experience of those traditionally absent from policymaking drive the process, profound policy transformations emerge. As America moves toward becoming majority people of color, achieving equity—just and fair inclusion into a society in which all can participate, prosper, and reach their full potential—is the moral imperative, a potent antidote to inequality, and the superior model for sustainable growth.
