Racial justice has been, is now, and will continue to be central to our mission. We dedicate ourselves to pursue cases designed to have a significant and wide-reaching effect on BIPOC communities, to work in coalition with other civil rights groups and local advocates to lobby in local and state legislatures, and to support grassroots movements. Through these efforts, we strive to educate and empower the public on how racism impacts the issues that we work on – including but not limited to criminal justice reform, reproductive freedom, LGBT and immigrants’ rights – and we commit to consider racial impacts when making hiring, policy and administrative decisions for the organization.
