The Poverty & Race Research Action Council (PRRAC) is a civil rights law and policy organization based in Washington, D.C. PRRAC’s mission is to promote innovative, research-based advocacy strategies to address structural inequality and disrupt the systems that disadvantage low-income people of color. Our current work focuses on the areas of housing, education, and environmental justice, with a focus on developing actionable policies to overcome the mechanisms that continue to reproduce historical patterns of racial segregation. In addition to our federal-level law and policy research and advocacy, we provide technical assistance and support for local partners working on innovative, inclusive policies.
PRRAC is a founding member of the National Coalition on School Diversity (NCSD) and helps to staff the coalition’s organizing, advocacy, and outreach.
