Partnerships
We envision a world where all people thrive, but this cannot be achieved without equity, justice, and respect for one another and the environment that sustains us. We recognize the many ways systemic racism shapes our society and hampers the achievement of a just and sustainable future. We support Black Lives Matter and all efforts dedicated to eradicating racial injustices, including violence and hate against Asians, Asian Americans, and Pacific Islanders. We stand in solidarity and commit to fighting against racism, xenophobia, and misogyny. We are listening, learning, evaluating our own approaches, and working for change.
