Social and organizational change

Systemic inequity and racism exist in the nonprofit sector and throughout society. Bias is designed into the technology we use in our social change work. To effectively achieve our missions, we must dismantle systems of oppression and open paths of opportunity for all.

We have resources for people just starting to examine these issues and actions for those eager to build power that challenges the status quo.
