Transparency
To model the pursuit of being an anti-racist organization and have a transparent process that can be shared with other groups, funders, vendors, etc. we propose the following ways of being transparent:
- Documenting and making our goals public by way of the website (especially with downloadable items) and hard copies of examples, case studies, model language and documents, etc.;
- Stating and restating that we are not going to wait until things are perfect before sharing our experiences or before taking action to move forward;
- Addressing critical issues by building time for them into the board meeting agenda and by building into the agenda more time for caucuses;
- Including the Dismantling Racism statement in all public documents; and
- Committing money to the DR process on a regular basis and as a core budget/organizational function.
- Board and staff should set up a process for regularly evaluating our progress towards the goals. This work will be led by the Change Team.
