Americans are enduring so much right now, not only due to the ravages of COVID-19 but also because of unending, senseless, and racist violence visited upon our colleagues, neighbors, friends, and clients as they simply
go about their lives
. We can let the weight of our anger, frustration, and grief hold us down, or we can come together, mobilize, and use this moment as an opportunity to work together toward a more just world.
Our shared values – including
Diversity
–underscore all that we do at VOA-Greater New York. We are committed to living these values out loud and doing everything in our power to make the communities in which we live and work, including our own organization, more welcoming, inclusive and safe for everyone. VOA-Greater New York is beginning a process of listening, learning and reflecting that will help us better understand where we are starting from, in order to move forward and address racism individually and as a team.
