How We Do

New Hampshire communities are surfacing real solutions to our most persistent challenges. Building on the accomplishments of the Race & Equity in NH Series, the NH Center for Justice & Equity will organize around those solutions, providing backbone support to their Workgroups (law enforcement/criminal justice, civic engagement, government, education, health, and economic development), and over time fully integrate those efforts into the Center.

The NH Center for Justice & Equity is creating a state in which all of us can belong by examining state policies impacting New Hampshire’s communities of color and similarly marginalized populations, and developing state policies and programming that reflect NH’s realities and values.
