EQUITY STATEMENT
The daily acts of racism and violence inflicted on the Black community, punctuated by the unjustified killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and countless others, have led many in our community to stand in solidarity with those who demand an equal future. Cancer CAREpoint stands with you.
We believe in, and strive for, equality for everyone. Equality in the right of everyone to work and live freely. Equality in the right of everyone to prevent and treat disease.
Cancer is a disease that can affect anyone, but it does not affect everyone equally. Black, Hispanic, and Asian communities in particular face obstacles to cancer prevention, treatment, and survivorship, not because cancer affects them unequally, but because of systemic racism, cultural disconnection, poverty, lack of access to healthy foods, and jobs with inadequate pay. No one should be at a disadvantage in preventing, treating, or surviving cancer because of the color of their skin, their cultural background, their economic status, or the place where they were born.
Cancer CAREpoint cannot be silent. We commit to tangible and lasting change in how we provide equal service to those living with and living beyond cancer in Silicon Valley. The recent events have made us take a hard look at what we’re doing to ensure that everyone affected by cancer in Silicon Valley has the same chance of living with and living beyond cancer, no matter their racial, cultural or economic status.
We must do more to fulfill our mission to transform support for cancer patients, families, caregivers, and survivors in Silicon Valley. We commit to thoughtfully examining our current practices and creating a comprehensive action plan to improve equal access to our services. Leading with our values, we will hold ourselves accountable to our community, and we look forward to sharing our plan with you.
