We, the board and staff, of The Mountain RLC desire to build and live in a community that is rich with racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity. We realize that The Mountain has been complacent in challenging white supremacy and racism in staffing, programs, and processes. We also recognize that our past actions have been modest in comparison to the ones needed to reach our collective dream.

 

In honoring those in our community who have been consistent and rigorous in anti-white supremacy work, we, the current staff and Board of Trustees, commit to do better. We will be taking equitable steps to educate ourselves and in doing so, we will remain vigilant in minimizing the harm that this process causes, to our Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) leaders and community members.

 

We further commit to deep listening, especially to the stories of BIPOC in and around our community.
