Eliminating Barriers to Racial Equity
 
 

donationSupport our Annual Appeal

ERASE Racism works to expose and address the devastating impact of historic and ongoing structural racism on Long Island, in New York, and nationally. We use a combination of research, policy development, advocacy, training and education, and stakeholder mobilization to engage the public and achieve change.

Our landmark research is evident in our new report “Empire State Inequity: A decade of school funding disparity and its effects.” Our national reach can be seen in Laura Harding’s recent commentary in The Hill: “3 myths about school segregation we’re still living with today.” Our student engagement takes place on Long Island through our Student Leadership Internship and Student Task Force.

ERASE Racism needs your help to support and expand our vital work.

We hope you will find it in your hearts to make a donation today!
