Anti-Racism Mission, Vision & Principles

Solid Ground’s Anti-Racism Initiative works to undo racism by identifying and addressing institutional practices and policies that are barriers to the full participation of people of color in our society. We work to address racism in our own organization as well as in the broader community by:

• Be accountable to our clients, our staff and our community.
• Provide leadership within our agency to ensure that our policies, procedures and practices are not barriers to hiring or providing services for people of color.
• Support efforts to undo institutional racism throughout our community.
• Ensure that the people we serve are active participants in our policy development and decision-making.
