VPC has a commitment to Racial Equity as one of our guiding principles. In addition to using a racial equity lens in our work, VPC expects out members to demonstrate a commitment to violence prevention solutions that address racial inequity and systemic/structural racism. To that end, our Racial Equity & Systemic Racism Committee has compiled a list of resources for our members.
