Anti-Racism and BusinessWe at the Chamber realize that 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 are taking steps to make sure we live up to this standard so we can better affect others and move our community forward. This will be hard work and an ongoing process, but one that will make us better for it.
