StateraArts stands with Black women. We stand with anti-racist advocacy organizations that uplift, amplify, and advance their voices, work, safety, and wholeness. 

We stand 
with Black Lives Matter. 

We stand with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color theater makers and colleagues that created and cosigned an open letter titled “We see you, White American Theater"

We stand with Color of Change designing powerful campaigns to end practices that unfairly hold Black people back, and champion solutions that move us all forward.

We stand with NAACP Legal Defense Fund working to reform policing in America. 

We stand with The Legal Rights Center serving Minneapolis and providing restorative justice services in the wake of protests. 

We stand with National Cares Mentoring Movement creating a world in which Black children are loved, have access to quality, culturally competent education and are supported by well-resourced families and communities.

We stand with US Dream Academy resourcing and mentoring children most at risk of incarceration. 

We stand with No White Saviors based in Uganda, dedicated to disrupting traditional power structures between the Western world and the African continent.

We stand with Know Your Rights Camp working to advance the liberation and well-being of Black and Brown communities through education, self-empowerment, mass-mobilization and the creation of new systems that elevate the next generation of change leaders.

We stand with Raising Race Conscious Children working to dismantle the color-blind framework and prepare young people to work toward racial justice.

We stand with Campaign Zero working to end police violence in America. 

And we stand with our beloved Statera community. 

We commit to continue our work for justice and parity in the arts sector and beyond. We commit to interogating our organizational practices inside and out. We commit to deep listening. We commit to radical inquiry and transparent action. And we are grateful everyday to be in community with you.
