DISCUSSION GROUPS

USING AN EQUITY LENS Addressing broken systems so that one’s identity does not determine disparate outcomes

USDN EQUITY LENS PROCEDURAL EQUITY Inclusive, accessible, authentic engagement and representation in processes to develop or implement programs and policies QUESTION: How are residents who have been historically excluded from planning processes being authentically included in planning, implementation, and evaluation of the proposed policy or project?

USDN EQUITY LENS DISTRIBUTIONAL EQUITY Programs and policies result in fair distributions of benefits and burdens across all segments of a community, prioritizing those with highest need QUESTION: Does the distribution of resources and investment explicitly account for potentially racially disparate outcomes?

USDN EQUITY LENS STRUCTURAL EQUITY Decision makers institutionalize accountability; decisions are made with a recognition of the historical, cultural, and institutional dynamics and structures that have routinely advantaged privileged groups in society and resulted in chronic cumulative disadvantage for subordinated groups QUESTION: What historic advantages or disadvantages have affected residents in the given community? And how are policies and programs addressing them?

USDN EQUITY LENS TRANSGENERATIONAL EQUITY Decisions consider generational impacts and don’t result in unfair burdens on future generations QUESTION: Does the policy or project result in unfair burdens on future generations?

DISCUSSION GROUPS TARGETED UNIVERSALISM “[Targeted universalism] is an approach that supports the needs of particular groups … while reminding everyone that we are all part of the same social and civic fabric.”
