Mission Statement

Racism in the United States is a form of oppression that includes systems, policies, institutions, and culture that uphold white supremacy. Regardless of positive intentions, institutional racism in ANR policies and culture actively undermines efforts to meet our mission to serve all Californians. For us to have equitable programming, we must have the structures and processes in place to support an inclusive environment.

Purpose

The ANR Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Alliance is a grassroots effort by employees to examine our own individual and organizational complicity in exclusionary systems and to build support for ANR to become a true multicultural and inclusive institution.
