The Office of Equity provides consultative services to state agencies that is rooted in the Washington State Pro-Equity Anti-Racism (PEAR) Ecosystem Plan & Playbook and the PEAR framework it outlines. We provide consultation through thought leadership, thought partnership, recommendations, advisement, and technical assistance on Office of Equity tools/resources including the PEAR framework and the development of statewide tools and resources that Washington state agencies will use to create a PEAR ecosystem.

Some Washingtonians question the legitimacy of state government because decisions are consistently made without them, some question state government’s effectiveness because it is not delivering services that meet their needs, and some do not trust state government because of its history of oppression and marginalization.
