Inclusive Community Agreements

We join together as a diverse group of individuals with a joint commitment to building an equitable community. We recognize that to be equitable we must start with a foundation that is inclusive. To ensure all voices are heard and that we learn and grow, we agree that we will engage in good faith to honor ourselves and each other.

Vision: The Monroe Equity Community envisions a diverse and inclusive Monroe where everyone is honored, safe, and represented. Mission: The Monroe Equity Community is 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 needs. We approach 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. Community Agreements: We agree to practice inclusive behaviors as we learn, grow, and celebrate together. We ask questions, we listen, we seek feedback, we examine our assumptions and biases, when we have a strong reaction, we pause and ask ourselves why, we take responsibility and repair harm

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.
