ANTI-RACISM & ETHNIC DISCRIMINATION STATEMENT

We recognize structural racism/ethnic discrimination and other forms of oppression have contributed to

persistent disparities which United Way seeks to dismantle.

​

We understand that these disparities have existed in the past and persist into the present.

​

We acknowledge that these inequities are the result of policies and practices that work to marginalize entire populations of people.

​

We unequivocally denounce racism/ethnic discrimination because it undermines the well-being and vitality of our communities.

​

Our United Way network strives to engage community members, especially those whose voices have traditionally been marginalized.

​

We work with residents and public and private partners to co-create solutions that ensure everyone has the resources, supports, opportunities and networks they need to thrive.

​

We commit to leveraging all of our assets (convening, strategic investments, awareness building, advocacy) to create more equitable communities.
