Our Vision For Equity 

​

At the core of The Social Impact Artists' work are the fundamental truths that Black Lives Matter and that our shared fight against racism, injustice, and inequality is inextricably linked to healthier, more powerful communities. These social ills are present in every system within our society. SIA is committed to doing everything we can to ending racism and discrimination in our community and in America. We stand against any kind of brutality, including police brutality, and we thank those who have shown tremendous courage in America's often racist and prejudiced system and culture that has treated Black Americans and marginalized communities as enemies. We stand with companies like Ben & Jerry's for their courage and leadership and join them in calling on the US Department of Justice to reinvigorate its Civil Rights Division, and for Congress to pass H.R. 40, and create a commission to study the effects of discrimination since African slaves first arrived in North America in 1619. 

SIA commits to doing our work on a daily basis to be part of the solution that brings remedies and reparations to heal the wounds and inequities of slavery, racism, discrimination, and white supremacy that plague our nation. We ask our team, partners, and collaborators to show the courage to stand in communion and action against racial injustice, gender discrimination, climate change, and refugee rights. This statement is just the beginning of the work we will undertake. We hope that our partners will stand in solidarity with us.
