Racial Equity and Inclusion

Racial equity and inclusion involve creating fair opportunities and respectful environments for people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds. Racial equity ensures that systemic barriers and disparities are addressed so everyone can succeed, while inclusion means actively involving diverse individuals in decision-making and community life. Together, they aim to eliminate discrimination and foster a culture where all feel valued, respected, and empowered to contribute fully. This approach helps build more just, diverse, and harmonious organizations and societies.
