Being part of a marginalized group has a big impact on a person’s life outcomes, and they can only break the cycle by standing up for equity and justice. That is why UWLC commits to:
- Acknowledging and reconciling their historical role in perpetuating systems of inequality
- Changing inequitable systems that prevent their community from reaching its full potential.
- Embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion as individuals, as an organization, and with their community
- Recognizing that marginalized groups and systems change over time, we may be impacting un-noticed groups today differently than underserved groups yesterday
