Pico Union Project Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Statement
The Pico Union Project is dedicated to providing a welcoming and caring community that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive. We are proud of our commitment to inclusion and diversity and strive to foster a safe, welcoming, and just space that meets the needs and celebrates all members of the community.
We strive to ensure each member is seen and accepted, regardless of skin color, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, ability, family make-up, political affiliation or life stage.
We hold ourselves accountable for upholding practices that are equitable and just, and expect our leadership, volunteers, employees, and guests to be welcoming and supportive of all diversity. We recognize that this practice is evolving and will require ongoing reflection and adaptation.
