Love Thy Neighbor Institute

Throughout America's history, systemic racism has been ingrained in our laws, systems, institutions, and power structures. Racial inequity is a result of discrimination, segregation, and economic exploitation. The far-reaching societal, economic, physical, and emotional impacts of systemic racism on BIPOC severely impacts the economic and social mobility of this population.

From slavery to Jim Crow segregation, to redlining, mass incarceration and environmental racism – institutions, systems, power structures, policies and power structures either implicitly or explicitly discriminate against BIPOC. Even after acquiring advanced degrees, owning a home, achieving a high paying job, a retirement fund, and quality healthcare, BIPOC’s wealth is still just a percentage of that of their Caucasian peers. Therefore, achieving racial equality does not rest in simply providing access to any one or even all of these outcomes, because even after attaining them, BIPOC’s net worth are still significantly less than that of their Caucasian peers.

LTNI believes that all forms of racism must be dismantled, and equal opportunities must be made available for all citizens so that they may achieve their highest potential. LTNI’s core team has over 25 years’ experience responding to gaps in racial equity and is taking a fresh, lean, grassroots approach to achieving equality for all children, families, and communities in America.

To achieve success, Love Thy Neighbor Institute is collaborating with key subject matter experts with documented experience in assessing institutions, systems, policies and power structures that either implicitly or explicitly discriminate against BIPOC and providing recommendations to eradicate the root causes of systemic racial inequities in healthcare, mental health, housing, education, criminal justice, media, the environment, employment, and entrepreneurialism.
