Our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism
At Ascend, we recognize that within the education system as a whole and our own organization, many systems and structures, even when well-intentioned, serve to perpetuate white supremacist culture. We recognize our participation in oppressive systems and we fully commit to becoming a more diverse, equitable, inclusive, and anti-racist organization.
