Racial Justice & Reconciliation brings equity to the heart of our neighborhoods and classrooms.
An Emphasis on Equity
Equity is related to justice and fairness. At CBEL, our focus is on making sure all families get the support they need to provide their children with a safe, stable, nurturing home, and prepare them for success at school. Research indicates that growing up in a safe home and finding success in the classroom contribute to a child’s health and dramatically improves their financial prospects.
CBEL’s Racial Justice & Reconciliation Committee is committed to keeping equity at the heart of everything we do. Comprised of CBEL members, the Committee meets once a month and sponsors community events open to the public. They also host monthly community of practice meetings. These are virtual gatherings designed to be safe spaces to share and practice difficult conversations around race, racism, and equity.
