SITE's Pledge

SITE is committed to facilitating professional relationships among educators, administrators, and staff who want to make a positive change at El Camino College. In order to make this positive change, SITE believes that it is paramount for ECC's employees to be actively anti-racist, and that this positive change can only come from how we address and repair systemic racism within our institution.

SITE is committed to the continuous, consistent work of examining one's own individual blindspots, biases, privilege, and racist ideas, practices, and actions, of challenging and dismantling racist policies within our institution, and of striving to achieve racial equity. To be anti-racist is an active and ongoing endeavor.

SITE is committed to building an antiracist-driven community by supporting our Focused Learning Communities who work across disciplines, with faculty and staff, and in collaboration with existing programs to pursue inquiry-based questioning that probes at the heart of racial inequality to ignite difficult, honest, ongoing conversations; we believe these conversations about racism on our campus will facilitate meaningful scholarly research, will reflect the reality of how difficult it is to dismantle and repair systemic racism within our institution, and will lead to impactful resolutions to racist campus policies.
