Per the legislative mandate of the Office of Racial Equity, each City department was required to complete a Racial Equity Action Plan providing a blueprint for advancing racial equity in all aspects of the department’s work over the next three years. Given that OECE and First 5 San Francisco are working on comprehensive joint planning for a more aligned and integrated early childhood system, and because our two departments are elevating racial equity as a focal point in these collective planning efforts, First 5 and OECE decided that racial equity planning processes would be most effective if they spanned both departments and culminated in a single Racial Equity Action Plan. Phase 1 of the Joint Plan focuses on internal systems, policies, and procedures and was submitted to the Office of Racial Equity for review on December 29, 2020.
Our 2021 Progress Report was submitted to the San Francisco Mayor and Board of Supervisors on May 2, 2022.
