Mission

Solid Ground works to end poverty and undo racism and other oppressions that are root causes of poverty.

Vision

Solid Ground believes our community can move beyond poverty and oppression to a place where all people have access to quality housing, nutritious food, equal justice and opportunities to thrive.

Mission: Solid Ground’s Anti-Racism Initiative works to undo racism by identifying and addressing institutional practices and policies that are barriers to the full participation of people of color in our society. We work to address racism in our own organization as well as in the broader community by:

• Be accountable to our clients, our staff and our community.
• Provide leadership within our agency to ensure that our policies, procedures and practices are not barriers to hiring or providing services for people of color.
• Support efforts to undo institutional racism throughout our community.
• Ensure that the people we serve are active participants in our policy development and decision-making.

Vision: Solid Ground's Anti-Racism Initiative is grounded in the understanding that racism perpetuates poverty, and that to end poverty we must eliminate racism. We challenge ourselves to understand and dismantle institutional racism, internalized oppressions and the dominance of white culture so that we can make our agency and the systems within which it works accountable to the people we serve. We work together within the broader community to build an equitable, multicultural community with access and power for all.
