2025 United for Justice Statement
"Center For Family Services stands against all forms of social injustice and implicit bias that exists within many of our systems that are supposed to ensure all people have access to fair judicial treatment, educational success, quality health care, food security, housing, and socioeconomic mobility. We, at Center For Family Services, acknowledge that there are real and significant barriers to people and communities working to reach their full potential, and collectively we must do better. It is not enough to be “not racist”, and we must actively take steps to be anti-racist. As citizens of our nation and as human beings, we must examine our values, and we must advocate for the change that is necessary."
