Voices we're listening to...
Communities within our country and around the world have been ignored and disenfranchised for far too long. It is past the time that we should be listening rather than hearing, witnessing rather than ignoring, and involving rather than administering-to. We support the efforts of the groups below and encourage you to do the same for those leaders and motivators that resonate with you.
However, the saying "Charity is no substitute for justice withheld" should not be forgotten. Therefore, our staff are empowered to spearhead their own initiatives and they are moving farther along than the business alone can, connecting with our colleagues and clients, professors and fellow students, making valuable decisions and setting action plans toward a new reality.
