Fenway Alliance Statement, Policy and Pledge on Inclusion, Equity & Justice

The Fenway Alliance stands in partnership and solidarity with all who work for equity, justice and the dismantling of systemic racism.
We resist barriers to inclusion based on race, ethnicity, economics, age, gender, and ability. We support and assist our 22-members’ sincere, vigorous, and sustained actions toward creating institutional cultures that are more equitable, representative of, and welcoming to all. We pledge to also assist our members’ urgently necessary actions to promote diverse voices and leadership that represent those previously excluded. We pledge to use our long-term advocacy experience to amplify voices to address inequity on the local and state level, working closely with the City of Boston to create greater equality in Boston.
