Centuries of political, legal, and economic discrimination against women and people of color have entrenched inequality in the United States. ProGov21's Race, Sex, and Social Equality Roadmap outlines steps local governments can take to address the root causes of racial and gender inequality and insulate their jurisdictions from further race-and-gender-based harm. Recommendations include enacting living wage ordinances, divesting from the prison-industrial complex, expanding paid family leave, and ceasing to collaborate with ICE.
