the Equity Alliance

The Equity Alliance is a Tennessee-based organization that works to promote Black political and economic power and achieve social and economic justice through civic engagement, leadership development, grassroots organizing, and issue advocacy. The organization focuses on three goal areas: democracy, growth, and power, and uses six "Power Pillars" to achieve its goals, including community organizing, education and engagement, leadership development, collective impact through coalitions, voter mobilization, and policy advocacy wins. The Equity Alliance works to educate Black communities about the political process and relevant issues, provide tools and strategies for civic action, and engage low-propensity Black voters and disenfranchised communities in the democratic process. The organization also monitors legislation to defend against attacks on democracy and advocates for pro-democracy reforms.
