King County is a great place to live, learn, work, and play. Yet we have deep and persistent inequities—especially by race and place—that in many cases are getting worse and threaten our collective prosperity. The Equity and Social Justice Strategic Plan is a blueprint for change, mutually created by King County employees and community partners. From the outset, the planning process was designed to hear from people across sectors, geography, and populations before developing a draft. More than 600 county employees and 100 local organizations—including community organizations; education, philanthropy, labor, and business organizations; and local governments—shared their insights and expertise as to where we have made progress, persistent challenges that exist, and solutions toward achieving equity.01:12:48
