Jan 2013 — Present
Director of the Government Alliance on Race and Equity, a national network of cities, counties and regions working to achieve racial equity. There is significant opportunity and leverage when government makes a commitment to achieving racial equity, focusing on the power and influence of their own institutions, and works in partnership with others. The Alliance approach is three-pronged: 1) Support a specific set of jurisdictions that are at the forefront of work to eliminate racial inequities, 2) Develop a “pathway for entry” into racial equity work for new jurisdictions from across the country, and 3) Build local and regional collaborations that are inclusive of community based organizations, government, academia, philanthropy, labor, business, faith-communities and other institutions. This project is a part of the Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society at UC Berkeley (Director john powell), where Nelson is a Senior Fellow.
