Diversity, Equality and Inclusion | The goal of the Plymouth Area LWV Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee is to educate ourselves on racial justice issues and share what we learn in our communities. We will seek out information and opportunities to convey to others how people are affected by racism and to be more aware of the overt and subtle expressions of racial stereotyping. We will work to support public policy that promotes social justice and equality in the nation, our state and our community. By partnering with like-minded groups, we will work enthusiastically to promote racial and social equity for all. |
