PRRAC: Connecting Research to Advocacy
The Poverty & Race Research Action Council (PRRAC) is a civil rights law and policy organization based in Washington, D.C. PRRAC's mission is to promote innovative, research-based advocacy strategies to address structural inequality and disrupt the systems that disadvantage low-income people of color. Our current work focuses on the areas of housing, education, and environmental justice, with a focus on developing actionable policies to overcome the mechanisms that continue to reproduce historical patterns of racial segregation. In addition to our federal-level law and policy research and advocacy, we provide technical assistance and support for local partners working on innovative, inclusive policies. PRRAC is a founding member of the National Coalition on School Diversity (NCSD) and helps to staff the coalition's organizing, advocacy, and outreach.
PRRAC has received financial support from hundreds of individual donors, as
well as from the Rockefeller, Ford, W. K, Kellogg, Open Society, Taconic, Irvine, C.S. Mott, Annie E. Casey, Levi
Strauss, Morton K and Jane Blaustein, Spencer, George Gund, Albert List, Fannie Mae, Boehm, AMJ,
