The Select Board of the town of Pembroke unequivocally condemns racism in all its forms.
We support and stand for racial justice and we commit to working to ensure that Pembroke is a welcoming community that embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion. As elected leaders, we recognize our responsibility to understand and address racial inequality in Pembroke.
Change starts at the local level, and better understanding and action in our own community can contribute to greater systemic change at the regional, state, and national levels.
To that end, we will work to educate ourselves, town employees, and town residents on racial justice issues. We will review our existing policies, practices, and procedures, and where necessary, we will enact changes to begin to build a stronger, more equitable community.
We will work to ensure that Pembroke is a place where all individuals can live happily, free of fear, and with equal access to opportunities, regardless of race.
