Solidarity Council on Racial Equity members are recognized global change leaders in advocacy, the arts, business, education and media. Each stands at the forefront of equity in the public arena.

The institute is composed of scholars, organizers, communicators, researchers, artists, and policymakers committed to building a world where all people belong.
These powerful voices are joining together to reach beyond familiar circles. In partnership with the W.K Kellogg Foundation, they are contributing insight and creative energy to advance racial equity and create a platform for collective action.
