Overview

Quad Caucus Logo The Quad Caucus (National Asian Pacific American Caucus of State Legislators (NAPACSL), National Black Caucus of State Legislators (NBCSL), National Caucus of Native American State Legislators (NCNASL) and the National Hispanic Caucus of State Legislators (NHCSL)) formed to work together to build and strengthen leaders that support racial equity. Convening since 2012, the Quad Caucus has met to develop cross-racial relationships, conduct racial healing and create guiding principles to dismantle structural racism and improve child well-being in the areas of health, education, family economic security and juvenile justice.

The mission of the Quad Caucus of state legislators is to promote equitable outcomes in all communities, focusing on people of color in the areas of health, education, family economic security and juvenile justice. The Quad Caucus seeks to strengthen cross-racial relationships, increase the percentage of policy making leaders that support an equity agenda and racial healing, and build a national voice.

Members of the Quad Caucus are also members of NCSL by virtue of being a state legislator. NCSL convenes legislators and legislative staff at over 100 meetings a year on a variety of topics and trainings. Over the course of the Quad Caucus convenings, and upon request from the Quad Caucus, NCSL has provided staff expertise on various policy topics.
