Dialogues on Race & Equity

Addressing racial equity and reducing disparities requires Arlingtonians across the County to share their perspectives. Through these shared perspectives and small interactive virtual conversations, individual residents, community groups, and leaders have an opportunity to participate in facilitated dialogue with each other to learn about and directly address racial equity issues in Arlington County.

The Dialogues on Race and Equity (DRE) are part of the County’s broader commitment to racial equity and follows the County Board’s 2019 equity resolution.

DRE will include a series of virtual community conversations with individuals, local faith groups, civic organizations, and community leaders, to learn about and address the ways in which Arlington can be a more equitable and inclusive place for all residents and businesses.

We invite Arlingtonians across the County to share their views on race and equity by participating in a short assessment.

Help to build dialogue through our various engagement opportunities.
