Anti-Racism Work

Our Commitment to Anti-Racism Work

In summer 2020, STAR’s CEO and Vice President issued a statement about institutional change to eliminate racism being a moral imperative. Since that time, we’ve engaged in continuing conversations with STAR staff to set and adjust priorities for advancing this type of institutional change within STAR. 

Similarly to how we prioritize institutional and culture change to eliminate sexual violence, we are focusing on institutional and culture change to eliminate racism within our sphere of control, and to make demands to eliminate racism in our sphere of influence. While our goals and objectives are evolving over time based on internal dialogue and agency developments, you can learn more about our anti-racism efforts by reviewing our Anti-Racism Quarterly Reports linked on the right side of the page. These reports are our effort to stay accountable to our commitment and communicate updates to staff, volunteers, supporters and community members.
