About our commitment
AMIBA has committed to focusing on racial equity in all that we do. This work isn’t a separate program but a foundational value that runs through all our work. We seek racial, economic, educational and social equity at our core. It is a journey we have undertaken and we invite others to join us.
Join us in our work to bring equity to the local movement and beyond
