To focus our efforts in building an equitable community the Monroe Equity Community has three pillars chaired by Board Members and fueled by volunteer commitment and passion. For information please go to each pillar's page.

​

City

We focus on the local government entity to ensure Monroe has equitable municipal policies and laws.

​

Community

We focus on building and supporting community through events, education, and gatherings that increase awareness of equity, foster inclusion and belonging, and where we can share and celebrate our diversity.

​

School District

We focus on the Monroe School District in pursuit of equitable policy, curriculum, and culture for staff, faculty, families, and students.

​

​

A large diverse group at a demonstration for Black Lives. Signs include one that say "Say Their Names" with many names written too small to see. Other signs say "End Racism Now" and "I am a man." One shirt in the crowd says "Never Again."  Because the crowd is so large, it's hard to read the other messages of antiracism.

WHO WE ARE

The Monroe Equity Community envisions a diverse and inclusive Monroe where everyone is honored, safe, and represented.

​

We embody a collaborative commitment to create space for everyone to be represented, seen, and heard without harm, all cultures to be honored, and all people to access opportunities according to their need.

​

The Monroe Equity Community approaches our mission together, working as agents of change, addressing systemic inequity, racism, and biases that exist in our schools, city, and community.

​

We will be intentional to incorporate a variety of perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences to improve decision making and leverage the positive impacts of Monroe's diversity.

ADVOCACY

As a collaborative, we use our privileges, our platforms, and our positions to support one another in the work of creating equity, inclusion, diversity, and belonging in our community. If you have experienced a situation that you need to talk through, have identified an equity issue that you would like to start working to change, or if you have witnessed racism, homophobia, transphobia, or other forms of marginalization of people by our city government, in schools, or out in the community but fear retaliation from co-workers or peers, please email us or fill out this form.

​If you are in physical danger or an emergency situation, call 911.

We cannot provide legal counsel.
