Our Mission
To build and sustain a coalition that seeks a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive community through advocacy and education.
Who Counts? MENA Inclusion and Why It Matters
Census data shapes funding, services, and political representation, and the new MENA (Middle Eastern or North African) designation marks a critical step toward inclusion.
Join us for a community conversation on visibility, representation, and the real-world consequences of who is and isn’t counted.

Our Programs
School Speaker Program
Our School Speakers Program helps showcase the importance of telling our story and the importance of seeing the world from someone else's perspective.
Our speaker list includes a diverse group of speakers including race, ethnicity, gender, immigration status and disabilities.

BIPOC Board Leadership Training
Our training aims to provide training to BIPOC professionals to be a good, effective board leader and create a pipeline of board ready candidates trained in board governance; as well as to facilitate board placement assistance for non-profits recruiting to diversify its board.

SLO Equity Podcast
SLO Equity is a podcast that dives into the origins of systemic racism, and unconscious bias in San Luis Obispo County. It tells the stories of the minorities affected by it as well as the stories of those people working to improve diversity, equity and inclusion in this predominantly white community.

Women of Color Network
Women of color experience unique perspectives at the intersection of race and gender. This dual identity often results in distinct social, economic, and cultural outcomes that are not fully addressed by movements focusing solely on either race or gender. By fostering connections and celebrating their achievements, we can promote inclusivity, amplify their voices, and work towards a more equitable society for all.
