    Black and Latinx youth to become leaders designing healthy and racially equitable communities.

  11. Term for the Day: Equity When outcomes are not predictable

    based on someone’s identities. *Modified from the Forward Through Ferguson definition of racial equity
  12. Term for the Day: Power The capacity or ability to

    direct or influence the behavior of others or the course of events.
  13. Those who are most directly impacted by inequities are also

    closest to the approaches to address them.
  14. Redesigners for JusticeTM are Equity Designers when they have lived

    experiences with the inequities they’re addressing.
  15. Redesigners for JusticeTM are Design Allies when they leverage their

    power and access for the Equity Designers that have lived experiences with the inequities they’re addressing.
  16. You can be an Equity Designer in one context and

    an Design Ally in another context.
  17. We are powerful, unstoppable, young Black leaders, advocates, and redesigners

    for racial equity within the St. Louis Promise Zone. We strive to create equitable communities where Black and Brown people can connect and be themselves.
  18. As Equity Designers, we will break generational curses by challenging

    the status quo. We will work together to invest in historically underinvested communities, create equity-centered designs and push for change.
  19. As Design Allies, we will challenge the status quo and

    advocate for equitable education and resources for young people. Additionally, we will push for safe places for ALL non-white, low-income St. Louis residents seeking support.
