Equity Principle
Know Your City is committed to respecting and honoring differences and commonalities in ethnicity, race, economic background, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, physical ability and religious affiliation. Our organization is comprised of diverse individuals who value inclusivity with the development and implementation of educational place-making projects. Our democratically structured programs and publications amplify under-represented voices within communities disproportionately impacted by oppression, prejudice, and discrimination. We believe, through embracing diversity, people become more empowered to take effective action for justice.
