Equal rights and equal opportunities for all people must be guaranteed, and all forms of discrimination must be eliminated, by leveraging our diverse backgrounds, beliefs, cultures, genders, abilities, races, sexual orientations, and socio-economic statuses.
Social justice efforts must be informed and guided by the leadership and experiences of communities most impacted.
We endorse and resolve to work for laws, policies, and programs that promote racial justice and eliminate systemic racism and discrimination.
