We Stand In Unity
The Community Foundation of San Carlos stands in unity with all people, of every color and creed, who have lost their lives in senseless acts of violence. People in this country should not live in fear of going to school, the grocery store or any place of worship. Every one of us has the right to feel safe in our homes.
We at the foundation grieve along with families and friends who have lost loved ones to violence and those who have been traumatized during the commission of these acts. Hate is at the core of so many attacks - hate towards people because of the color of their skin, how they worship or who they love. We at the foundation condemn all acts of hate and stand for love.
As we remember all victims and their families, particularly those affected by the over 200 mass shootings of this year alone, the Community Foundation of San Carlos denounces racial and social disparity and violence in all forms and commits to advancing justice, equity, and inclusion for all.
The future and strength of our community is in its growing diversity. Having different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences helps us think critically and creatively about how to make San Carlos a wonderful and safe place to be for everyone.
We strive to be a source of positive change by listening to our community, making connections to learn about and discuss the issues, and providing resources for learning and supporting those individuals and nonprofits on the front lines fighting this ongoing battle.
The Community Foundation of San Carlos will be offering community conversations dedicated to social justice and equity in the coming months. Please join us in listening, learning, and coming together to build a more equitable and inclusive community.
If you are interested in getting involved with the Community Foundation, please email info@sancarloscf.org. We welcome your participation and input at any time.
