Is it the truth?
Is it fair to all concerned?
Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

West Marin Nonprofits Equity Statement
We, the undersigned nonprofit organizations of West Marin, add our voices to the protests against the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmad Arbery, Tony McDade, Maurice Gordon, and countless others at the hands of law enforcement and vigilantes.
We acknowledge the systemic racism at play in our country and county and commit to facilitate change and foster the inclusivity that this moment in history demands. We recognize that this is truly the work we must do to live out our equity and inclusion values truly.
Together we agree to:
Carry out our own internal work within our respective organizations to address bias and racism while advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion;
Share our learning for more effective action; and
Collaborate as West Marin nonprofits to work with our communities in confronting systemic racism.
We draw our inspiration from courageous leaders who, over the centuries, have challenged exploitation, racism, and violence.
