Equity Design Collaborative Information

The mission of the Equity Design Collaborative is to cultivate a community of practicing and aspiring equity designers with the courage and conviction to reclaim the practice of design. To do so: We interrogate the existing field of design, including traditional design, human centered design, community centered design, and beyond, knowing we are intimately bound up in designed oppression. We support each other in critical reflection and accountability for our intentional and unintentional impact, and help each other avoid perpetuating injustice while we each build our equity design practices. We build a foundation of relational trust, share tools, skills, and mindsets with each other, and learn from adjacent activist efforts.
