In a March 15th program, we learned about a new initiative, RACE COUNTS, which presents a comprehensive online tracking tool ( www.RACECOUNTS.org ) that ranks all 58 counties by seven key issue areas and provides a roadmap for community leaders to focus their efforts. This program presented RACE COUNTS key findings about the Bay Area and Silicon Valley. Panelists included the community organizers who helped to co-create RACE COUNTS and who will use it to guide their organizing, as well as grantmakers who invested early in the project.
