Racism Statement from AAUW of Oregon
We condemn racism, which is so deeply rooted in our country and demonstrated in many aspects of our lives. There can be no justice or equality when any individuals or communities are treated with indignity or denied equitable access to health care, quality education, desirable housing, opportunities for job advancement and economic security.
As advocates for equality, it behooves us as AAUW of Oregon members to recognize and speak up against racism.
We therefore commit to fighting for justice, long-term and lasting change, and we stand in solidarity against racism. We pledge to take action in advancing policies and systemic changes that respond directly to racial biases.
We also acknowledge that as an organization we have our own work to do.
