OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION
The Cascade Blues Association condemns all forms and expressions of racism, including all symbols associated with white supremacy and the degradation of people of color. We will hold ourselves as well as all blues musicians, fans, organizations, and members of the music industry accountable for racist actions and encourage concrete commitments to acknowledge and redress the resulting pain. We acknowledges that racism contributed to the historic oppression and exploitation of African American blues musicians and recognize that hateful acts of racism continue to afflict the blues community today. We strive to identify, discuss and challenge issues of race within the blues community. We commit to the ongoing development and implementation of strategies to dismantle structural and systemic racism within our programs, special events, and organization.
