Our Commitment
A statement of of solidarity against racial injustice from Center 360
To address income inequality, Center 360 aims to expose young people to a wide range of career opportunities, expand their professional aspirations, and help them unlock their economic potential. To bridge the income gap, we must also dedicate ourselves to advocating for a fair and just system.
​We seize this moment to reiterate our unwavering dedication to fortifying our organization’s pledge to social and racial justice. We are steadfastly committed to actively dismantling the entrenched systems of oppression that perpetuate income inequality. These systems encompass but transcend institutionalized racism and white supremacy. They encompass classism and structural poverty, as well as the insidious forces of homophobia, transphobia, and xenophobia. Through deliberate action and inclusive initiatives, we aim not only to confront these issues but also to cultivate a society where every individual, regardless of background or identity, can thrive equitably.
Now, more than ever, we stand in solidarity with our community, committed to helping our youth reach their full potential without facing unfair treatment due to race or socio-economic background. We are here to support, value, and include every member of our community in our pursuit of unity, justice, and equal treatment for all.
In solidarity,
The Center 360 Team & Board
