"Our purpose is to educate ourselves and our members about the many issues around inequalities and inequities in our world today. Once we begin the journey of learning, we can begin to find solutions to these inequities, both in ourselves and our own lives, and in the lives of those around us." 

- Amanda Scott, committee member
