Building racial justice, equity, and action across communities. racial equity

 The Imagining Freedom Institute (The IF Institute), co-founded in 2017, is rooted in action-oriented and equitable capacity building for institutions/ organizations. 

The National IF Institute office is based in Dallas, TX. The IF Institute focuses on education as a means to dismantle institutional and structural racism, providing historical analysis of inequitable policy and practices, implementing equity and social justice, and envisioning a more equitable society rooted in joy and liberation. 

The IF Institute’s training method is based in anti-racism fundamentals, historical analysis and understanding power dynamics in systems and structures; our goal is help organizations develop a strategic action plan  for racial equity through customized trainings and ongoing consultation. The IF Institute works with organizations to create an equitable plan of change and/or equity audit/assessment, which includes an institutional commitment and results in an equitable redistribution of shared power. The work begins by creating a historical analysis of the organization, the organization’s city and state.
