Vision

We’re working towards a time when everyone is respected and embraced by the community, so that Duxbury is a safe and welcoming place for all who live and work here.

We envision a community that will stand by those who are threatened or made to feel unwelcome due to their age, background, class, disability, ethnic origin, gender identification, immigration status, political beliefs, race, religion, sex, sexual preference, or for any other reason. 

Mission

We strive to make our community a beacon of diversity, inclusivity, and social justice, where every individual feels respected, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change.

We do this by:

• Hosting programs and events that educate the public about the value of diversity, the existence of unconscious bias and the discrimination that results from it, and the need for us all to take action to promote social justice;

• Dispelling myths about Diversity, Equity & Inclusion initiatives;

• Bringing people, organizations, and local government together to work as partners, to implement policies and programs that effect change and support basic human rights for all;

• Taking action to support threatened community members.

We address issues with openness, curiosity, and respect in order to foster a true sense of belonging, and encourage others to do the same.

Action

We’re taking action in three areas:

Programs & Events that engage people in the cause of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. 

Partnerships that bring together players who can effect significant change . 

Communications that make people aware of events and help educate them on the issues.
