Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The Racial Justice Coalition includes representatives of organizations in Asheville-Buncombe County with racial justice in our missions. We come together in commitment to racial equity and to advocate for the rights of people of color.

  • The Racial Justice Coalition of Asheville (RJC) began as a coalition of non-profit social justice organizations primarily focused on racism in policing after several tragic incidents in our community. As time went on and our capacity grew, we have shifted more towards public advocacy and education as part of the Reparations movement.

    Expenses $898,628 · Grants $500,000

  • The RJC has also sought to educate the community about what the Reparations movement entails. In the relevant fiscal year, RJC staff conducted regular Lunch and Learn sessions at which attendees were provided with lunch and a lecture and discussion about one of the five Impact Focus Areas identified by the Reparations Commission (Housing, Education, Economic Development, Criminal Justice, and Health and Wellness). The sessions were very well attended, with experts in each area addressing the attendees and taking their questions. In addition, the staff conducted Barbershop Sessions, in which staff held informational sessions at various Black- owned barbershops and beauty parlors around the city.

  • Our Coalition Supporters (the nonprofit social justice organizations mentioned above) met regularly via Zoom in the fiscal year to receive updates about RJC activities, to exchange ideas about actions undertaken by their respective organizations, and to offer input to the RJC board and staff. We are grateful to have had the support of such partner organizations.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
