The Central Coast Regional Equity Study marks a critical first step toward initiating and framing equity-centered conversations in policy advocacy and community organizing, with research and analysis of equity indicators related to the social, economic, civic, and environmental well-being of our rapidly diversifying Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties region. Guided by a transformative vision rooted in equity, sustainability, and justice, together we offer this initiative’s first report, Towards a Just and Equitable Central Coast, with the hope that it serves as a starting point for discussion about the region’s racial, economic, environmental, and political inequities.
Please join The Fund for Santa Barbara, UCSB Blum Center on Poverty, Inequality, and Democracy and the USC Equity Research Institute for the live-streamed launch of the Regional Equity Initiative.
Tuesday, December 7th
