To Our Members And The Communities We Serve

2020年6月11日3分钟阅读

WSECU joins with the voices demanding change. As a cooperative founded by women and men in public service, we’ve always believed that when individuals come together in shared purpose, they can achieve extraordinary things. Right now our nation’s shared purpose must be to address the injustices and inequities that have resulted from centuries of systemic 种族歧视.

The recent tragic killings of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia and Breonna Taylor in Kentucky have brought deep pain to their families and to the world. 我们谴责这种暴力行为. 他们的死亡, along with the disproportionate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Black community, have further exposed the deeply ingrained, unresolved issue of 种族歧视 in this country. Hundreds of thousands of people across the U.S. have been peacefully marching in response seeking redress, and we are moved by their calls to action.

从历史上看, WSECU has contributed to a stronger society by offering equitable financial 服务 and opportunities to increase financial stability. These are ways we help address economic inequality, which often goes hand-in-hand with racial inequality. However, we understand we must do more.

致我们的会员, employees and communities: We start with a commitment to these actions, knowing that this must only be the beginning.

对于我们的会员

  • Provide products and 服务 that advance the financial well-being for all members.
  • Assure training for staff to better understand how they can listen to, serve and make a difference in members’ lives without bias.

对于我们的员工

  • Examine and strengthen our diversity, equity and inclusion strategies to further a more inclusive culture and increase diversity and understanding across the credit union.

为了我们的社区

  • Expand investments in organizations working towards greater racial and economic justice, which will continue to include and expand college access programs for first generation college students.
  • Commit to working collectively with allies to combat and disrupt instances of hate, 种族歧视, intolerance and violence in our communities.

作为董事会成员

  • Continue to prioritize that the Board is strongest with diverse representation and advance policies that promote equity for our members.

As part of the Credit Union movement

  • Work to strengthen financial regulations that help historically underserved communities of color from a position of members helping members.

There is only one way to tackle racial injustice and inequity: together. It is more important than ever to speak out against all 种族歧视 and begin conversations, no matter how uncomfortable, to listen and learn from one another to create a more just world.

Credit unions were founded in part on the principles of people helping people and serving the underserved. We recommit to these principles and to identifying the additional work we can do as a credit union to reduce systemic 种族歧视.

Our hope in humanity runs deep. As a nation – and a credit union - we are strongest when every voice is heard, 受到尊重和保护.

谢谢你!
