United Way of Metro Chicago Anti-Racism Statement

Throughout our city and nation, racism remains a daily reality. While the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and so many others have dominated the headlines, countless other Black deaths and the decades of disinvestment in our predominantly Black and Latinx communities have received far too little attention.

The impact of systemic racism on our neighborhoods has produced dramatic gaps in the health, wealth, and economic outcomes for many of our neighbors. At United Way, we are committed to working alongside our community partners to reverse the effects of decades of systemic racism and disinvestment. We are also committed to being an anti-racist organization, working against racism and toward equity in everything we do.

We are thankful to our staff and board-led equity committees for driving our vision of building a stronger, more equitable Chicago region from the inside out.
