TAKE A STAND
AGAINST INJUSTICE
Racial injustice continues to be prevalent in our society.
Now more than ever, it is time to speak up and take action to make Central Indiana a truly racially equitable place to live and work. That’s why the greater Indianapolis business community, its civic organizations and the City of Indianapolis have come together pledging their resources, influence, and time to create a more equitable city for everyone.
A Pledge for Racial Equity
“We pledge to take meaningful action to address the issues of racial equity and justice in Central Indiana. As leaders in this community, we must hold one another accountable for creating short- and long-term change for African Americans. We pledge to share our progress toward the goal of a racially equitable community.”
