CORE has launched several initiatives to advance racial equity in the city's budgeting process and has formed partnerships to support this work. These efforts aim to increase transparency and community involvement in budget decisions.
- Partnered with the Department of Records and Information Services to highlight racial equity history in city archives
- Launched a social media project modeled after the Equity Justice Initiative to publicize racial equity history
- Developed an equity budgeting tool in partnership with the Institute on Race, Power, and Political Economy
- Proposed questions for council members to ask agencies during budget hearings to ensure racial equity considerations

So one additional note with respect to the work that we're doing to advance racial equity in the city.
2:33:44
I do wanna highlight a particular partnership that we have with the Department of Records and Information Services.
2:33:51
This partnership crosses all of our lanes, but primarily research and policy led by Maya Williams and communications by Isis Osebiaallo.
2:34:01
We have launched a project starting February 3, I believe, whereby we racial equity history in the city, in our archives, and publicize it on all of our social media.
2:34:16
It's actually modeled after the Equity Justice Initiative social media project, and we started with the school walkout from 02/03/1964 against segregation.
2:34:29
I will now move to our asks.
2:34:40
I instead will finish our communications, and then I will go to ask.
2:34:43
So in fiscal year twenty twenty six, our communications team is gonna continue to highlight our CEPs and amplify our community voices.
