At Woodbury for Justice and Equality, our Mission is to learn about systemic inequalities and racial injustices in our community in order to seek solutions to change the status quo. Our Vision is to have a Woodbury where everyone has an equal opportunity and feels welcomed.
To keep our focus on achieving this mission and vision, we are an intentionally nonpartisan community group. This means that we do not coordinate our activities, goals, fundraising, or messaging with any political party.
However, we also recognize that important systemic change sometimes happens through policy change. And policy change is driven by politicians. Therefore, though we are nonpartisan, we cannot remain apolitical. We will act to support the policies that advance our mission and the politicians who advocate for those policies.
To clarify our stance in advance of the upcoming 2023 campaign season, we have created the following framework to guide our current and future political involvement:
W4JE members can be personally involved with any political activity of their choosing, but cannot represent or imply endorsement from the group without approval from the core team.
