With our Lansing Equity Project, we are working to create a more inclusive model of ownership, empowerment, and shared decision-making within our community's early childhood system by:

• Focusing on systems that support vulnerable children through critical development stages
• Identifying what works and does not work in translating research into action
• Providing common language, best practices, and new knowledge to service providers, educators, community organizers, and interested citizens
• Implementing strategies that reduce barriers for children of color and children living in poverty
• Identifying ways to create effective policies and practices that benefit underserved populations
