Fighting for Equity & Justice
IN DELAWARE & SALEM COUNTY
At the heart of our efforts for equity and justice is the Delaware Racial Justice Collaborative (DRJC). The goal of the collaborative is to end systemic racism in our state. The DRJC funds projects promoting the advancement of minorities. We provide education, resources, and support to people of color all over Delaware. Everyone deserves the chance to live life unburdened. Fight for racial equity and social justice reform, by advocating against policies that limit our black, brown, and minority communities in Delaware.
Delaware Racial Justice Collaborative
The DRJC is a partnership of organizations from across Delaware committed to equity for all people. Together, we work to undo racially charged policies that limit opportunities for people of color. We strive to raise awareness of the negative impact of inequality. Above all, we encourage everyone, regardless of race, to take action against injustice
