Standing Against Racism and Discrimination: First Annual Survey Report

We are happy to bring you this survey of the organizations and individuals who signed the WCAPS Statement that was launched in June, 2020, following the murder of George Floyd. The survey and work of Organizations in Solidarity (OiS) strengthens the ongoing work of WCAPS and it is an initiative of WCAPS. Within the Statement are 12 commitments to which the organizations that signed agreed to be held accountable. The goal of this survey is to provide a baseline of the organizations that signed regarding their efforts to combat racism and discrimination and promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in their spaces. We also seek to understand what organizations are planning to do to implement the 12 commitments in the Statement now and in the future. In that respect, we plan to do another survey in early 2021 to gain an understanding of how organizations are moving forward in fulfilling the 12 commitments in the Statements as well as what challenges they are encountering in doing so. We will then continue the conduct surveys of the OiS members on an annual basis.
