Goals
· To promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in every aspect of LWVSC and the Brevard community.
· To promote increased recruitment and retention of members of marginalized communities and focus on nurturing a sense of belonging and purpose for members with different backgrounds.
· To encourage our members to acquire the humility and commitment for self-examination regarding personal attitudes, when adopting a defensive stance will be the automatic first response to the insights required to proceed on the road to achieve equity.”
· To expose and eradicate policies and practices within LWVSC that are implicitly racially-biased.
· To network with minority leaders and organizations and join in coalition with diverse organizations within the Brevard community to address common concerns.
· To educate LWVSC members and the Brevard community on how the longstanding, deep-rooted culture of race in American society continues to prevent members of marginalized communities from having equal access to opportunities in Florida and the United States. This is especially important now in light of the campaign against diversity, equity and inclusion in Florida’s schools and workplaces
