Penn South Anti-Racism Questionnaire
There are currently efforts at Penn South to acknowledge and combat racism within our community. It is our shared responsibility as cooperators to create the conditions for racial equity to take root, to encourage a more diverse Board of Directors and to take steps to create a Penn South that is more welcoming and inclusive for all who live here.
This is why we created this questionnaire for all the candidates to the Board of Directors. Attached are the responses we received. The questionnaire is for information purposes only, no endorsements are being made by us. Please share widely.
Survey composed by: Margarita Aguilar, Sadye Campoamor, Katya de Kadt, Paula McKinnon, and Susan Ackoff Ortega. We are distributing this as individuals who are members of the Conversations In Color Committee and the PSPS Anti-Racism Committee"
