Who We Are
The Office of Equity advances policy and systems change (RCW 43.06D.040) to promote a Washington for all. We believe Washingtonians are stronger together and that Washington can be a state where everyone, especially those from communities historically marginalized and systemically excluded, has access to the opportunities, power, and resources (RCW 43.06D.020) they need to thrive. We facilitate Washington state’s transformation into a Pro-Equity anti-Racism (PEAR) ecosystem by embedding the principles of PEAR Plan & Playbook (). One of the most crucial components of PEAR is shared power (relational partnership), partnering with those most impacted by government decisions and action to co-create policies, processes, and practices.


Our Vision
Everyone in Washington State has full access to the opportunities, power, and resources they need to flourish and achieve their full potential.
 
Our Mission
To promote equitable access to opportunities, power, and resources across state government that reduce disparities and improve outcomes statewide.
 
We Value

• Access: Barrier-free environments so everyone can participate.
• Belonging: The right to participate in all aspects of society with acceptance, attention, and support from members of the society, providing the same to others.
• Dignity: We honor the sacred nature of each individual’s personhood.
• Equity: Acknowledging systemic inequalities by developing, strengthening, and supporting policies and procedures that distribute and prioritize resources to people in social identity groups who have historically been and currently are marginalized to ensure everyone has access to the same opportunities, power, resources, and outcomes to achieve equality.
• Justice: Treating people fairly. To make right. What love looks like in public ().
• Love: A selfless and giving act of the will. We seek to out-give and out-serve the other.
• Ubuntu:  I am because we are. We are interconnected.
