Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Group
Our Mission We work to end racial discrimination and injustice, starting within ourselves and moving out into the world around us. We support a multi-racial, multi-ethnic congregation, and are committed to building a system of true diversity, equity and inclusion.
Our Work Through community activism, educational opportunities, and volunteer service projects, we bring light to community issues, build deep relationships, and provide tools for congregants to become anti-racist.
Our History and Impact Since the spring of 2020, the Diversity Equity and Inclusion Group has led the charge in the fight against racism by engaging in the following activities:
• Ongoing Antiracist Learning Challenges
• Courageous Culture Conversations
• Water collection for the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs
• Developed a draft territory Acknowledgement
• Meet monthly on the second Tuesday at 4 pm
anti-racism Challenges
Each of our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Challenges encourage you and give you tools to eventually become an anti-racist which doesn’t require that you always know the right thing to say or do in any given situation. Anti-racism asks that you take action and work against racism wherever you find it including—and perhaps most especially—in yourself.
Discussion groups are the heart and soul of our Challenges. To find out about up-coming Challenges, please subscribe to our weekly newsletter or email the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Group.
