Commons Good: Stewardship and Starting Points

The nation is rapidly becoming a majority people of color. In cities and towns across the country many people are embracing the concept of equity and intent on achieving racial and economic equity for all. At the same time, as the word is used more, the concept of equity is in danger of becoming diluted, just another catchphrase of civil society, leaving the true promise of racial and economic inclusion unrealized. PolicyLink is a national research and action institute advancing racial and economic equity by Lifting Up What Works.® Dr. Michael McAfee became President and CEO of PolicyLink in 2018. Monte Roulier interviewed Dr. McAfee as a critical perspective in the development of THRIVING TOGETHER: A Springboard for Equitable Recovery & Resilience in Communities Across America.
