- EDUCATION
Engaging in anti-racism/unconscious bias virtual programs offered through WOC. - LEGISLATION
Contacting elected officials at the local, state and federal levels to encourage support of anti-racist legislation/polices and pledging to vote towards racial justice in elections. - INCLUSION
Encouraging decision makers to recruit, hire and promote women of color to leadership positions in the non-profit and philanthropic sectors. - ACTION
Developing a personal or professional racial equity goal to accomplish this year and making a year-end gift towards racial equity.
