George Floyd's May 2020 murder ignited a racial reckoning and social justice movement nationally and locally. Awareness of present-day racism increased even as racial disparities widened across health, wealth, education, and other social determinants. The Delaware Racial Justice Collaborative (DRJC) responded to the moment as membership surged and antiracist efforts expanded. The DRJC, powered by the United Way of Delaware, is committed to addressing structural racism by organizing volunteers across seven impact areas. Health Equity is one of the seven established committees and focuses on health inequities in Delaware. The DRJC has also supported the creation of the Equity Counts Data Center in partnership with the Delaware Division of Public Health. The fight for racial justice continues two and a half years after George Floyd's life was taken, and we need you to #JoinTheMovement.

Leaders undertaking the effort to dismantle structural inqualities at the organizational level often find traditional professional development on diversity, equity, and inclusion to be limited in scope, rarely leading to meaningful organizational change. The Racial Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (REDI) Movement was developed in 2020 by associates within a Midwest university research center to increase efforts toward the pursuit of a holistic, systems-level approach to equity, social justice, and inclusion. REDI now includes several interventions that prepare associates and their teams to advance racial justice and equity across four levels of the REDI Framework: Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, Institutional, and Societal.
