Educate: Learning is the first step to change. We strive to learn with and from the community by sharing articles and statistics, and listening to the lived experiences of people of color. Advocate: We stand in support of individuals, families and organizations experiencing racism and other forms of discrimination. We will use our collective voices and e
nergy to be allies. Collaborate: Working alongside schools, elected leaders, businesses, churches and other groups will bring long term change.
