Leadership voices for racial equity

In a May 30, 2020 statement, Standing together for racial equity and community, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation called for shared leadership in this moment.

 “We stand with our grantees and partners and call upon leaders in every circle, large or small, to raise their voices on behalf of our common humanity.”

Our grantees, partners and Solidarity Council on Racial Equity (SCoRE) members lead in their circles and act in solidarity with communities to address structural racism every day. Their statements and voices reflect the passion, creativity and resolve needed to change children’s lives for the better in every community — and the list is growing every day. Addressing these inequities together, on behalf of children, families and communities, is our shared work.
