Statement from the Snohomish for Equity Board

As we stand a little over two months removed from May 31st and the events that followed, Snohomish for Equity (SFE) remains steadfast to our mission and deeply committed to the work of anti-racism. We choose to lean in to this work daily, even when it is uncomfortable. Part of that is defining what we support as an organization.

• We support dialogue, awareness, and education around issues of racism in Snohomish.
• We support our town of Snohomish wholeheartedly as it works to become the best version of itself: a thriving and welcoming community free of hate, intimidation, discrimination, and ignorance.
• We support/stand with our local government in upholding Resolution 1389.
• We support our country with the same wholeheartedness. We are patriotic and deeply committed to seeing our country live up to its ideals.
• We support the efforts of dismantling the white supremacy that is ingrained in our town and country by recognizing systemic racism and addressing the policies and practices that uphold it.
• We support racial equity and inclusion in all facets of our community.
• We support a culture of acceptance and openness that allows Snohomish to be proud of who we are.

Over these past two months, social media based misinformation campaigns against SFE have occurred, as well as doxing of SFE board members and several community members who support our mission. Trolling and mischaracterizing our efforts only strengthens our resolve to live up to our purpose and focuses our attention on what truly matters: Black Lives Matter. We will continue to engage our community and provide educational opportunities that promote an understanding of diversity, inclusion, and equity.
