**Policy, Equity, & Data Analysis**

Racial equity impact statements could be a resourceful tool for lawmakers to analyze a bill’s potential impact on economic, social, physical, or health outcomes for specific groups. At the heart of racial equity impact statements, they answer the question, “who benefits and who is burdened?” by proposed policy changes. Advocates will share best practices for conducting equity impact statements to identify disparate impacts. Several states, including Virginia, have passed bills requiring legislatures to conduct racial equity impact statements.
