OUR COMMITMENT TO EQUITY AND INCLUSION

We have zero tolerance for and condemn acts of racism, bigotry, xenophobia, and expressions of discrimination stemming from one’s race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, religious belief, gender expression, sexual orientation, disability, sex, age, national origin, or any legally protected class under federal, state, or local laws. UWCWC is guided by the following principles:

  • We value, respect, and embrace diversity with a commitment to incorporating practices that enhance diversity into all areas of our work.
  • We acknowledge that combatting racism is an ongoing journey.
  • We strive to empower communities to have a voice in decision-making processes that impact their lives.
  • We acknowledge that transparency is essential for accountability and building trust.
  • Learning and growing together as a community through ongoing training and conversations about race and equity.

UWCWC recognizes the power and privilege of our brand. As leaders in our community, we will play a significant role in being part of the solution for positive change. Therefore, we commit to:

  • Assessing our actions, policies, and programs to ensure they are equitable and inclusive.
  • Communicating openly about our anti-racism efforts, progress, and challenges.
  • Learning and growing together as a community through ongoing training and conversations about race, equity and their intersections.
  • Transforming systems and instituting systemic changes that create a more just and equitable future.
  • Elevating the voice and power of our community.
  • Requiring accountability and transparency at all levels – from our organization to all institutions with whom we partner.
  • Advocating for justice and speaking up in unity and in action whenever we see justice not being served.
