Introduction to the 2021-2022 Racial Equity Dataset: A Searchable Collection of Laws Related to Racial Equity

by Phyllis Jeden and Quang H. Dang

Overview

September 19, 2024 | 11:00am – 12:30pm CT

Join us for a webinar introducing the Network’s Racial Equity Dataset. This searchable database includes bills proposed and enacted in the 2021 and 2022 legislative cycles in the wake of the renewed racial justice movement in 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic.  

Features of the laws that were enacted, and that were still in effect on December 31, 2022, were compiled into a cohesive dataset, created using policy surveillance methods, to provide insight into the outcomes of those legislative sessions. Legislation identified, though not exhaustive, provides a bird’s eye view and a peek into relevant legal trends across the country.
