BRIDGE Accountability/Coordinating Committee Application
Thank you for your interest in serving on the BRIDGE Accountability/Coordinating Committee! Essential to this committee is to steward and connect all BRIDGE activities through a race, gender and anti-poverty lens following our Boards Black Lives Matter commitment and our legacy of walking the talk of an anti-racist organization since our inception.
This official sub-committee of the Governance Committee, found in our 2019 revised Articles of Organization, serves as a space to help coordinate volunteer activity that supports BRIDGE’s mission and programming, while working to deepen our individual and collective accountability in a multi-racial space of many intersecting identities. This is one of the BRIDGE spaces where conflicts will be addressed, circles will happen and voices of those historically marginalized will be heard. In our organization, accountability is at the center as a commitment and practice. Immediate request to leave for any violation of the shared commitment to disrupt white heteropatriarchal supremacy that interferes and disrupts the leadership, mission and voice of the organization. Circle practice will be an essential component.
