What We Do

We're building a future where communities of color thrive

Founded in 1993, The Greenlining Institute is a policy, research, organizing, and leadership institute working for racial and economic justice. We work on a variety of major policy issues, from the economy to environmental policy, health care and many others, because economic opportunity has many parts, and they all connect.

Moving Our Country Forward

A New Anti-Racist Future

We will not quit until we end racism in every corner of society and our communities are freed from the weight of white supremacy and nationalism. The epidemic of police brutality is a reminder to us all of how precious the freedoms won by our predecessors are and how frequently they are denied to Black and Brown people. We're dedicated to dismantling racially unjust policies, practices and structures. We stand in unequivocal solidarity with the Movement for Black Lives.
