MISSION The Equity Research Cooperative (EqRC) is a non-profit research collective that advances the social, economic, educational, and political interests of communities of color through community- engaged research, advocacy, and the praxis of redistribution. As a People of Color-led interdisciplinary research cooperative, we strategically redistribute our financial resources, academic capital, and operational infrastructure to social justice initiatives, organizations, and movements that redress structural oppression. VISION We are guided by a deep and abiding freedom dream: one day Black and Brown communities will receive and experience dynamic reparative justice and the depth and breadth of white supremacy, heteropatriarchy and capitalism will be eradicated. On this day, Black and Brown communities will stand in the power of their sovereignty. We embrace this vision as a rich inheritance of social justice movements before us and the radical love we share with one another. This is our dream.
