Vision
We envision a Carroll County that embraces equity and justice for everyone.
Mission
We promote understanding of and raise consciousness about issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion through advocacy, networking, education, positive discourse, local media and collaborative relationships within our community.
Values
Every person is worthy of dignity and respect
Everyone must have a voice
Racism hurts us all
Some people have privilege, while others do not
Identities are intersectional
Community action is essential to achieving justice for everyone
Historical truth informs current action
We must seek and speak truth with compassion, persistence, and courage
"It's not enough to DO equity; we must BE equity." - Baruti K. Kafele
