United against
racism

We acknowledge these inequities are the result of historical and current policies and practices that work to marginalize groups of people, preventing their voices from being heard and restricting or denying their access to educational, economic and other opportunities. We unequivocally denounce and seek to dismantle racism and all forms of discrimination. We further acknowledge that both implicit and explicit racism exists in our community and disproportionately impacts the quality of life for many members of our community.

We are committed to improving the lives of historically excluded people by addressing the systemic inequalities that oppress people of color. We will work with community partners in nonprofit, private and public sectors to co-create solutions that ensure everyone has the resources, support, opportunities and networks they need to thrive. We resolve to engage the entire community, especially those whose voices have been historically excluded, in support of the shared work for fortifying equity and empowerment.
