In 2025, the Tamarack Institute introduced the Equity, Anti-Racism and Reconciliation (EAR) Analysis Tool to help bring the organization’s commitments into everyday decisions.
This tool reflects the commitment to transform systems, foster belonging, and centre the voices and leadership of equity-denied communities. This approach aligns with the Water of Systems Change framework, which illustrates how inequity is held in place through mental models, relationships, power dynamics, resource flows, and policies.
It supports staff, partners, and collaborators to look closely at how their work affects different communities, especially communities that continue to face racism, exclusion, and other systemic barriers. Download the EAR Analysis Tool Handbook to learn more about how to use the tool.
