OUR COMMITMENT
The Children’s Coalition for Northeast Louisiana is committed to listening intently while we take a stand against institutional racism. Since our founding more than twenty years ago, the Children’s Coalition has focused on creating communities where children and families thrive - now, more than ever, we stand by this commitment to ensure all children and families have access and support, care and basic supplies amid so much uncertainty. We will work for racial equity inside and outside of our organization.
There is so much more to be done, but we commit ourselves to the well-being of everyone in our community and to problem-solving systems and structures that will dismantle disparities and social determinants. With listening and action, we will make positive change and will continue to create safe and healthy communities where children and families thrive.
