California’s Racial Equity Commission
Addressing Structural Racism and Advancing Racial Equity
California’s Racial Equity Commission recommends best practices and opportunities to address racial equity and address inequities facing historically underserved and marginalized communities. The 11-member Racial Equity Commission also provides technical assistance to state and local governments to advance racial equity statewide.
Honoring the Life and Legacy of Dolores Huerta
“Perhaps the most important part of her legacy is not simply that she was ahead of her time.
It is that she helped change the times.”
– From the Dolores Huerta Foundation’s tribute
The California Racial Equity Commission honors the life, courage, and enduring light of Dolores Huerta. Her gift was helping people recognize their own power and what they could make possible together. We are grateful for the moments shared with her and for the generations of leadership she inspired. Her light lives on in the communities she strengthened and in the work we carry forward toward a more just and equitable California.
