<br />2018 Annual Report • Administration • St. Anthony Village, Minnesota <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />30 <br /> <br />Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE) Cohort <br />The City of St. Anthony joined the 2017 cohort comprised of a number of governmental entities <br />from around Minnesota that are working with the Government Alliance on Race and Equity <br />(GARE) to advance racial equity in government. GARE is working to advance racial equity and <br />increase opportunities for all communities and building the field of practice to advance racial <br />equity within and through government, which is to our collective benefit. <br />GARE’s strategies include: <br /> Organizing a membership network of <br />jurisdictions working to advance racial <br />equity <br /> Expanding pathways for new jurisdictions <br />to begin doing racial equity work via work <br />with individual jurisdictions <br /> Supporting and building local and regional <br />collaborations that are broadly inclusive <br />and focused on achieving racial equity <br />GARE's focus is on normalizing conversations about race, operationalizing new policies, <br />practices and organizational cultures, and organizing to achieve racial equity. We are seeing <br />more and more jurisdictions that are making a commitment to achieving racial equity, focusing <br />on the power and influence of our own institutions, and working in partnership across sectors <br />and with the community to maximize impact. <br />The city continued with the Government Alliance on Race & Equity (GARE) program in 2018, <br />and assembled an Implementation Cohort team that will meet throughout the year with other <br />Implementation teams while carrying out the city’s Race & Equity Plan. <br />In January the GARE Implementation Cohort met in Eagan with other Implementation teams <br />for the first session of the year. The cohort had 9 jurisdictions participating, which were: the <br />Hennepin Court 4th Circuit Judicial Courts, Hennepin County Library, League of Minnesota <br />Cities, Mankato, Metropolitan Council, Minneapolis, Northfield, St. Anthony Village, and the St. <br />Paul Visitors bureau.
