Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion - test
Welcome to the Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
Our office serves as the internal and external resource for ideas, practices and policies that operationalize Mayor Andre Dickens’ Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) goals for the City of Atlanta. Our team does this work with an orientation towards systems change, efforts that provide education and resources to increase understanding of EDI and social justice issues, examine and change policies and practices that perpetuate inequalities, and build supportive and inclusive communities where all individuals feel valued, respected and belong.
Our hope is to support the many diverse communities of this amazing city in ways that ensure outcomes for success and life are not dictated by race, ethnicity, gender, ability, sexual orientation, zip code or any other identity markers. We strive for equitable opportunity and a city that works for everyone!
