Environmental Justice and Service Equity

The Environmental Justice and Service Equity Team works with SPU and partner departments to realize the goals of the City of Seattle's Race and Social Justice Initiative.

Our goal is to support SPU in delivering racially inclusive and equitable services. As Race and Social Justice (RSJ) subject matter experts, we provide a framework, guidance, and partner with SPU leadership, branches and project teams to create accountability measures.
