Race, Equity, and Diversity Statement

Adopted by the DRC Board of Directors - July 21, 2021
​We commit to being anti-racist.  We commit to centering diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice organizationally, and in our provision of services and programs for the community.
Treating all people with dignity and respect is central to our core focus.  We commit to learning and unlearning, self-reflection, and action as we discover how our experiences are intertwined with systemic oppression in America and how we can use what privilege we have to support the fight for justice.
Youth Services
​We believe that dignity and dialogue are critical to diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice.
As our community’s mediation center, the DRC is committed to facilitating communication and dispute resolution that:
  • Supports equitable access to justice;
  • Preserves and repairs relationships;
  • Resolves disputes effectively with self-determination; and
  • Promotes civility, compassion, and healing.
 
We believe that the services offered by the DRC will expand social justice in our South Sound community.
The mission and vision of the DRC advances social justice by:
  • Providing alternative means of addressing harm in the community beyond what is possible through traditional policing, judicial processes, and incarceration (i.e. restorative justice);
  • Building the capacity of our community members to treat one another with dignity and civility, enabling deeper listening and empathy when Black, indigenous, and people of color bring forward calls to address systemic inequality; and
  • Equipping the community with tools to collaborate productively to develop robust, resilient solutions to systemic racism and injustice to affect positive systemic change (i.e. transformative justice).
