“My commitment to a more equitable and just city is to call out casual racism in my everyday life. I am usually reluctant to respond to microaggressions, particularly when they come from people I don’t know. I’m learning that we can’t afford to let this harmful “othering” to exist in our community. I refuse to let people speak hatefully about “those people”. “

–Chris Hong, KFNA Board Member

“My commitment is to spend current time working with my current business to put together “coping kits” to help children affected by losses in their community. I will be spending time volunteering to assist local organizations, sitting in the discomfort of awareness and listening to people’s concerns to better understand my own neighborhood and city. ” –Mike Skinner, KFNA Board Member [Read more…]
