As a coalition, we strive to be the heartbeat of Jesus by actively working to expose, disrupt, and dismantle racism and oppressive systems. We will pursue racial justice and equity, ensure student safety in our schools, and reconcile people of all races in our community.

We are a community of people striving to be racially healed and reconciled to each other; just as God reconciled us through Jesus.
The Burlington Coalition for Dismantling Racism was founded in 2019 after years of consistent racism in our school district with no action or accountability from faculty, staff, or the school board.
A handful of people came together in hopes of dismantling a system that was unsafe for our students of color.
We will persist until we see continued change, equity, and zero tolerance for racism.
President of BCDR
