CALIFORNIA POLICY LAB

We recognize that ongoing systemic racism and structural inequality in California and our nation are direct results of exclusionary public policies, both past and present. We also recognize that the history and ongoing implementation of social science research and public policy includes many practices that are shameful, racist, and harmful. The California Policy Lab is committed to confronting systemic racial and ethnic inequities through our work, and also recognizes the importance and intersectionality of other inequities, including gender, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, and poverty. We aim to create a culture that is welcoming and inclusive and that enables staff members from all backgrounds to thrive. In our work, we engage in self-examination, internal and external dialogue, and action to promote equity. We incorporate our recognition of structural racism in our research, practice, and organizational culture, and we examine and strive to root out bias in data..
