The select cohort of elected leaders will take part in a year-long program to enhance racial and economic equity in their states by sustainable change and collaboration, As per the press release from E Pluribus Unum, a nonprofit, nonpartisan unit whose mission is to build a more just, equitable, and inclusive South, uprooting the barriers that have long divided the region by race and class.
Just as with the inaugural cohort of EPU’s UNUM Associates that possessed regional elected officials, the organization will provide aids, training, and technical expertise along the journey.
“EPU’s UNUM Fellows are on the front lines of shaping America and are passionate to unite and make upon our country’s promise,” said managing director Scott Hutcheson of E Pluribus Unum. “Our research shows that when leaders emphasize equity across race and class, then we begin tearing down the old walls intentionally built to divide us. Our communities, states, and America herself thrives when united and the UNUM Fellows are a part of making us better.”
