Equity Statement
FRIENDS OF DALLAS ANIMAL SERVICES - RACIAL EQUITY STATEMENT
At Friends of Dallas Animal Services we respect and value diverse life experiences and heritages and ensure that all voices are valued and heard. We recognize the pervasive racial inequities resulting from systemic racism and unjust practices, and fully support City Council Resolutions 19-0804 and 21-0503, which address racial equity in the City of Dallas.
We're committed to modeling diversity and inclusion, and to maintaining an inclusive environment with equitable treatment for all. To provide informed, authentic leadership Friends of Dallas Animal Services strives to:
*See diversity, inclusion, and equity as connected to our mission and critical to ensure the well-being of our volunteers and the communities we serve.
*Acknowledge and dismantle any inequities within our policies, systems, programs, and services, and continually update and report organizational progress.
*Explore potential underlying, unquestioned assumptions that interfere with inclusiveness.
*Advocate for and support board-level thinking about how systemic inequities impact our organization's work, and how best to address that in a way that is consistent with our mission.
*Help to challenge assumptions about what it takes to be a strong leader at our organization, and who is well-positioned to provide leadership.
*Practice and encourage transparent communication in all interactions.
