Summary
This resolution would endorse the Equity or Else quality-of-life platform and push for systemic change to achieve racial and economic equity. It centers equity across the five basic institutions identified by the United Nations: education, health care, housing, food systems, and clothing, and calls for impacted communities to guide resources and policy.
