At Empowering Ability, we are committed to the work of antiracism. We are learning about anti-Black racism, anti-Indigenous racism, and how White privilege and superiority impact the people and communities we serve.

We are aware of how the intersection of disability and LGBTQ+ increases the societal devaluation of BIPOC people. We must continue to have uncomfortable conversations to help dismantle the systemic racial barriers that have blocked social and economic progress for Black and Indigenous peoples for generations.

We know that the first step towards change is to speak up, so we want to be very clear: Black Lives Matter to Empowering Ability, and we commit to no longer being silent or neutral as we move towards tangible action and change.

As the founder of Empowering Ability, I have completed a 6-week antiracism training course, and I commit to ongoing learning on antiracism. I also commit to continuing to evaluate my privilege as a white cis-gender male and hold open conversations about antiracism in our work at Empowering Ability. At Empowering Ability, we serve BIPOC families, and we are dedicated to continuing our learning about the intersection of disability, LGBTQ+, and race to best support BIPOC families.
