Systemic racism is one of the biggest contributors to poverty, crime, under-education and poor health outcomes in our state. While it’s invisible to the majority, it’s affects are devastating to communities of color. Founded in 2015, the Delaware Racial Justice Collaborative (DRJC) exists to end systemic racism in Delaware.

Today, the DRJC is a diverse group of more than 200 individuals and organizations working to make Delaware better for all people. Together, we work to undo policies and practices that limit opportunities for people of color. We give children and young people access to the skills and resources they need to graduate on-time and succeed in the workforce. Above all, we encourage everyone, regardless of race, to take a stand against injustice in Delaware.

We are working every day to create more equity and opportunity for communities of color in the following areas:

  • Criminal Justice
  • Education
  • Wealth Creation
  • Health Equity
  • Public Policy
  • Youth & Young Adult Development

About United Way of Delaware (UWDE)

Mission: At United Way of Delaware, we're answering the call to help our community thrive. We're working to ensure kids can read on grade level by third grade, support career and college success for youth, connect families to vital resources through Delaware 211, and empower individuals with the tools they need to achieve financial stability. It’s about creating lasting change that lifts up everyone, not just offering temporary fixes.

When you give to United Way of Delaware you are helping children and families. Whether it's a kindergartner who lacks the resources to learn remotely, or a family calling 2-1-1 seeking immediate shelter, United Way of Delaware has initiatives in the community that make an impact in the lives of real people.
