Anti-racism is the heart of our work.
The Center for Leadership and Justice recognizes that the only true way to live out our mission “to develop leaders who act collectively for social justice in Greater Hartford” is to commit fully to being an antiracist institution. This antiracism commitment influences how we hire, structure organizational leadership, do business, and importantly how we organize.
On October 28, 2019, 1500+ people from 35 multi-faith congregations and allied institutions gathered to launch the Greater Hartford Interfaith Action Alliance (GHIAA).
