National Equity Week In Washington DC
By Charlotte Robinson, June 05, 2025
The 2nd annual National Equity Week bringing together civil rights organizations, Black entrepreneurs, ballroom houses, faith & political leaders takes place Wednesday June 11th to Saturday June 14th in in Washington, D.C. This year’s Equity Week comes at a critical moment for our country as attacks on civil rights, economic opportunity, LGBTQ & Black communities escalate across federal, state & local levels. With more than 100 local governments advancing reparations efforts & public demand growing for structural change Equity Week 2025 is a call to Congress & elected officials nationwide that the time for equity is now. Dr. David J. Johns, CEO & Executive Director of the National Black Justice Collective stated, “The demand for equity is not a partisan issue—it’s a moral obligation. Equity Week exists because too many of our leaders still haven’t met the moment. Reparations, equity & equality, voting rights & economic justice are not fringe demands; they are the foundation for a functioning democracy. We are here to affirm: we will not be ignored & will not stop until our communities receive what is owed.” Dr. Marcus Anthony Hunter, Executive Director of United by Equity concluded, “You cannot spell equality without equity. Therefore, equity is essential & let us be undeterred & encouraged in our pursuit. National Equity Week is a time to celebrate our communities & to recommit ourselves to achieving equity, truth & repair for all of our children, communities & the generations to come.” There will be fabulous events happening all week long & will culminate on Saturday June 14th from 12P to 1P honoring the legacy of Bayard Rustin with a powerful gathering & ceremonial walk around the National Mall Reflecting Pool.
