Supporting Progressive Solutions to Problems of
Racism and Poverty
PRRAC is a civil rights policy organization convened by major
civil rights and anti-poverty groups in 1988-89. PRRAC's primary mission is to help connect social
scientists with advocates working on race and poverty issues, and to promote a research-based
advocacy strategy on issues of structural racial inequality. More about PRRAC
