Special Committee on Racial Equity

The Special Committee on Racial Equity (SCRE) aims to develop a framework to research, consider and identify issues of inequity that affect our diverse communities within the purview of Bronx Community Board 8 and its committees. This initial report reviews the background of this historical moment, the overall role of the board, the committee’s initial framework of engagement and finally initial recommendations on how to build a practice of equity for CB8. This report will be a part of others to document, analyze and suggest solutions to the disparities that exist within our district and build strategies to address them. We are asking the community for feedback and appreciate everyone’s participation.
