Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

We, the people of Community Forward SF, commit to cultivating an anti-oppressive creative and collaborative culture. Here, we share our guiding principles to foster workspaces that center equity, respect, justice, and accountability. As systemic transformation necessitates full community  participation, commitment to these values and practices is requisite and foundational for all who work at Community Forward SF.

All people and all identities are welcomed here. All people and all identities are entitled to respect and dignity.

We recognize that our nation and its institutions are founded upon and steeped within white supremacy, colonialism, and capitalistic inequity. We recognize that our nation’s dominant character and culture are rooted in the stolen lives, labor, and land of Black and Indigenous people and that these communities remain especially vulnerable. We recognize that there is no true justice or equity until all people are liberated. We are committed to dismantling structures and practices that perpetuate or are permissive of oppression, inequality, and discrimination of any kind.
