Systemic racism and social disparities will not end without intentionality. Individuals, communities, businesses, and governing bodies must each do their part in dismantling them. As an organization, CMAA intends to expand our commitment to this collective effort. At CMAA, we established an Anti-Racism Committee. This committee meets regularly and focuses on ways CMAA can improve in fighting racism. CMAA will uplift the voices and needs of our black, indiginous and people of color (BIPOC) in Uptown and beyond by continuing to build new and strengthen existing partnerships with BIPOC-led organizations and businesses.
