The CitiIssues Committee of NYWA recognizes that racism in America
and in New York City in particular is a most urgent issue. Oppression
and the aftermath of enslavement continue to infect our society
despite attempts at local and national levels to promote equality.
NYWA's member organizations represent the diverse ethnic and racial
mix that characterizes New York City. Through education and advocacy
NYWA promotes a better understanding and respect for people of
all races and ethnicities.
Therefore:
NYWA will speak out when incidents create an atmosphere of distrust and fear and persistently work toward greater racial and ethnic harmony
in the City.
NYWA
will meet with elected officials to encourage them to alleviate
tension and misunderstanding between and among the diverse groups
of citizens in New York City.
