Mayor's Office of Racial Equity

Last week, @ORE_DC convened residents, agency partners, Advisory Board members, and community leaders at Bard High School Early College DC for our REAP 2.0 Community Forum. Thank you to @DC_OCA Kevin Donahue, Dr. LaJoy Johnson-Law, and the @yeidc202.

Tim White embodied public service at its very best. From leading the Office of East of the River Development to advancing affordable housing efforts across the District, Tim's work helped shape our city for the better. He was humble, kind, and passionate about delivering for our residents and the city he loved. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with his family, friends, and loved ones at this time.

Happening tomorrow!!

Five years. One mission. Celebrating five years of the Mayor’s Office of Racial Equity. Under the leadership of Mayor Muriel Bowser, the Mayor’s Office of Racial Equity was established to advance fairness and accountability across DC government. The Office also carries forward the REACH Act by embedding racial equity into how policies are designed, budgets are developed, and decisions are made across the District. From the District’s first Racial Equity Action Plan to pay equity advancements, expanded language access, and environmental justice milestones, this work continues to strengthen outcomes for DC residents. #DCRacialEquity #DCGov #EquityInAction ▶️ Watch the video to learn more.
