What is The Partnership for Racial Equity?
The ERASE Racism Partnership for Racial Equity provides a concrete way for individuals to support ERASE Racism's work.  If you feel frustrated by the prevalence of institutional and structural racism, turn that frustration into productive actions by signing on as a Partner for Racial Equity. 

There is strength in numbers.  When ERASE Racism says that public policies need to be changed in order to achieve greater racial equity, whether it is housing, public school education or other important issue areas, it helps to be able to point to hundreds (and in the future thousands) of individuals who share our passion and who are willing to lend their names to the agenda of increasing racial equity in the region. 

Who are the Partners and how can I sign-on?
Almost 1,000 individuals have joined the Partnership for Racial Equity since its launch in 2005. Partners are young and old and they live and work in many different communities in Nassau and Suffolk County and beyond. Partners are from many different ethnic groups. Partners work in corporations, nonprofits and government. Some raise children and others are retired. Some are active in civic life and others are not. You can sign-up to be a Partner by clicking the following link:Partner Sign up. There is no fee to join as a Partner.

What will I do as a Partner?
What you do as a Partner for Racial Equity depends on your interests and your availability. You get to choose. At a minimum, you lend your name in support of the work of ERASE Racism. You will be invited to help with policy campaigns by attending a public hearing or writing a letter to an elected official. You will be invited to educational offerings such as film forums, discussion groups and training workshops. You may be invited to help raise funds in support of our work. You may participate in a "members only" chat room with other partners, where you can share stories, find collaborators and learn about a wide variety of events and activities. There are many ways in which this Partnership works for all of us. Please join today!
