Mission

Racial Equity 2030 Challenge Awardee

These are dark days if you care about justice. Power and wealth are extremely concentrated. Authoritarianism and nativism have gained ground. And we are speeding towards environmental collapse.

Law is supposed to be one of our most powerful tools for advancing justice. But for billions of people around the world, the law is broken. It’s an abstraction—or worse, a threat. Namati and members of the Legal Empowerment Network advance social and environmental justice by building a movement of people who know, use, and shape the law.

Five billion people live outside the protection of the law. Namati and members of the Legal Empowerment Network advance social and environmental justice by building a movement of people who know, use, and shape the law. Together, we’ve achieved remedies that directly improved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, and policy improvements that affected millions more.


Launched in October 2020 and sponsored by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Racial Equity 2030 was a $90 million challenge to help build and scale actionable ideas around the world for transformative change in the social, economic, political, and institutional systems that uphold racial inequities. 1400 proposals were submitted to the competition and were evaluated using four criteria: whether the proposals were game-changing, equitable, bold, and achievable. Ten Finalists were announced in September 2021. Five Awardees were announced in October 2022: ActionAid, Communities United, Indian Law Resource Center, Namati, and Partners in Development Foundation.
