Purpose and Goals
To effect true and lasting change, we must engage our
policymakers and focus on dismantling systems that promote and
protect inequity. California has one of the highest drop-out
rates in the country. The incarceration rate of youth in our
state is racially disproportional and shameful. Hate crimes
continue to surface in our communities and universities. As a
beacon of diversity, California is failing.
We are thrilled to announce a new initiative of the
California Equity Summit supported by The California Wellness
Foundation, MINI-GRANTS for MAXIMUM CHANGE: Locally Grown Equity.
All Equity Summit participants have the opportunity to
apply for a mini-grant (up to $500 each) to carry-out local
equity-based initiatives in their schools/neighborhoods/detention
facilities that relate to our conference theme. A select group of
grantees will be featured as a “best practice” at California’s
Equity Summit 2013. For more information, contact Vajra Watson at
