Racial Equity Statement

WithinReach believes that all families deserve to be healthy. We acknowledge that race is the leading predictor of health disparities in our community, and that structural racism intentionally limits opportunities for people of color. WithinReach recognizes that equity work is an ongoing journey and, therefore, is committed to building a multi-ethnic, anti-racist, inclusive organization. The following principles guide our commitment to eliminating institutional racism in our programs, policies and practices:

  • Address racism and oppression
  • Acknowledge the influence of privilege and implicit bias
  • Apply an equity mindset
  • Be inclusive and collaborative
  • Promote diversity
  • Recognize and acknowledge shared experience
  • Practice transparency and accountability
  • Be an advocate and ally
