Researchers at the Urban Institute have been considering how to shape and evolve the research and communications processes to ensure that our work is inclusive, respectful, and incorporates a racial equity lens. Though we originally developed this guide as an internal resource, we are releasing it publicly to share what we are learning and solicit feedback from our peers in the academic and nonprofit sectors. We do so with humility and a spirit of openness, keenly aware that we must continue to learn from voices of lived experience, particularly Black voices, and others who work for social justice.
