STATEMENT ON DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION

United Way fights for equity within our work; recognizing that everyone deserves more than life.  All people deserve hopes and dreams, access to quality schools, safe and affordable neighborhoods and jobs that become careers with economic mobility.

We have the power to end poverty, to dismantle racism and to create a just nation for all.  It simply requires the resolve to change and the willingness to sacrifice for others.  Resolve and sacrifice are American values.  They have solved our problems before.  They can again.
