Last year, the Roosevelt Institute published a report co-authored by its president and CEO, Felicia Wong, titled, "A New Paradigm for Justice and Democracy," which called for an approach to policymaking that would "center race and racial justice."

"Because our racial disparities are so severe across all elements of the American economy and society, no policy, even if facially race-neutral, is race-neutral in practice," the authors argued. "The design of all policy proposals—big and small—must be attentive to racial outcomes. All policy, from vaccine distribution to higher education funding to tax reform, will have racialized effects. Recognizing this reality, and always considering race in policy design, is therefore vital."
