As a committed community force against the manifestation of injustice we pledge to be part of the growing movement for fundamental change. We acknowledge that the path forward is unclear, yet we will learn and hold ourselves accountable by committing to:
- Valuing the voices of persons of color and other marginalized individuals, including the youth we serve, within RSN.
- Advocating to redirect funding from discriminatory and punitive school (e.g. School Resource Officers) practices toward community-based restorative mental health services and innovative programs for youth, such as mentorship programs and restorative justice.
- Providing a space for the necessary conversations about white supremacy, systemic racism, and the experiences of marginalized individuals.
- Confronting the racial injustices as experienced by those we serve.
