Many local communities have developed equity plans, co-created with employees and community partners, that serve as a roadmap for action and change. They serve as a guide for pro-equity policies, planning, services, and work practices that advance equity within a community and\u00a0address institutional racism to ensure opportunities exist for all constituents.\u00a0The plans develop goals and outcomes that will result in improvements for all groups, but the strategies are targeted based on the needs of a particular group. Promoting the plans and communicating progress on key initiatives or programs is critical to any pro-equity agenda.<\/p>\n

The Racial Equity Community Outreach<\/a>\u00a0solution can be used by local governments to communicate progress made on racial equity initiatives or programs to the general public and other interested stakeholders. \u00a0The solution includes a series of ArcGIS applications used to communicate key racial equity initiatives or programs, visualize workforce diversity metrics, gauge public sentiment, and share authoritative information about racial equity with the community.<\/p>\n

Racial Equity Destination<\/h2>\n

The Racial Equity Community Outreach solution leverages an ArcGIS Hub site to promote racial equity programs. The site includes a responsive, and accessible, website that serves as a destination for key program areas (for example, Workforce, Government Services, Policing, and Economic Inclusion).<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":978832,"id":978832,"title":"Hub Site","filename":"Hub-Site.png","filesize":111986,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hub-Site.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-solutions\/local-government\/racial-equity-community-outreach-solution-released\/hub-site","alt":"","author":"4881","description":"","caption":"","name":"hub-site","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":977442,"date":"2020-08-17 16:38:01","modified":"2020-08-17 16:38:01","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":958,"height":540,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hub-Site-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hub-Site.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hub-Site.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":433,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hub-Site.png","large-width":958,"large-height":540,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hub-Site.png","1536x1536-width":958,"1536x1536-height":540,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hub-Site.png","2048x2048-width":958,"2048x2048-height":540,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hub-Site-826x465.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hub-Site.png","wide_image-width":958,"wide_image-height":540}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
