National Racial Equity Initiative for Social Justice In June 2020, CBCF created the National Racial Equity Initiative for Social Justice (NREI) in response to the historically unleveled playing field for minorities, and the national protests and police killings of unarmed African Americans. The NREI’s mission is to combat systemic injustice and advance racial equity, human rights, education, and economic development opportunities for the Black community. Housed in the Center for Policy Analysis and Research (CPAR), the NREI takes an evidence-based approach to develop sound policies targeted to reducing racial disparities caused by racism and discrimination. NREI also strives to provide solutions-driven and proactive policies and practices that produce equitable access, opportunities, treatment, and outcomes for African Americans.
