EQUITY STATEMENT
The Y in Central Maryland strives to reflect and celebrate the rich diversity of the communities we serve. In the face of the undeniable fact that systemic racism has permeated our country’s institutions, including our Y, we believe that we need not only respond to inequities, but also actively seek them out and address them. This is not only a moral imperative, but it makes us a stronger, more effective organization.
Our Y seeks to be for all, and to be for all means that we clearly state that Black lives matter. By stating this, we are not lessening the value of other lives. It is a recognition that in the past and in the present, racism has resulted in unequal opportunities. It is a call for equality, equity and justice for all.
We do this work with humility, recognizing that we must always first start from within.
We expect and ask that all stakeholders embrace that equity and anti-racism are central to the Y’s mission and values and hold us accountable in this journey towards making “For a better us” have real meaning.
