IANGEL is committed to equality and justice. Our organization recognizes that systemic racism persists in our country, as does gender inequity. Discrimination, whether on the basis of race or gender, is a powerful driver of violence, poverty, and injustice. IANGEL is committed to supporting and participating in efforts to dismantle racism and sexism in our country and our world. We recognize the intersection of race and gender in the broader struggle for justice, and we know that meaningful progress to advance racial justice will have significant positive impact on the fight for gender equality. Together, we can make significant strides to combat discrimination in all its insidious forms. IANGEL welcomes partnerships with others toward our shared goals of equality and justice for all.

 

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”
