AFP Chicago – Our Values Remain Unwavering
Everyday our members tirelessly devote themselves to promote inclusion, diversity, equity and access to empower individuals and their communities. The events which ensued in our Capitol this week break down the very ideals we value. The actions that caused pain and sorrow are unacceptable and not tolerated. The white supremacy we witnessed has no place within our organization or profession. We are committed to becoming an anti-racist organization recognizing that more work is to be done. AFP Chicago will continue our work with pride, passion, diligence, strength and action to move our community and country forward and to embrace the love of humankind. To learn more about how our chapter is responding to the issues faced within our community, please visit Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Access (IDEA). AFP Chicago, We Stand in Solidarity.
