Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber

ANTI-RACISM AND BUSINESS

The Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber's mission is to make the South Sound the most equitable and inclusive place to do business in Washington State.
Racism has no place in this formulation. We can no longer just be against racism, rather we need to take anti-racist action and work toward anti-racist policies. This will be good for our community, good for our economy, and therefore, good for our businesses. We, as the Chamber, are taking steps to make sure we live up to this standard so we can better affect others and move our community forward. We know this will be hard work and an ongoing process, but one that will make us better for it.

An Open Letter from the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber and Economic Development Board for Tacoma-Pierce County

In response to the gruesome death of George Floyd, we join all local, regional, and national leaders in condemning this unjust taking of a life.
