Racial Equity Statement

We affirm that racial equity, as an understanding and acknowledgment of historical and ongoing racial inequities and a commitment to actions challenging those inequities, is a core tenet of our Coalition’s practice.

All Southwest Corridor residents must have:

  • Choices for where to live for people of all income levels

  • A range of jobs with living wage for people of all backgrounds.

  • Learning opportunities to prepare people for those jobs.

  • Wages that support them to live and work in the corridor.

SWEC works to ensure that the residents of the SW Corridor have access to the opportunities that the light rail project will bring and concurrently address the impact associated with this major infrastructure investment.
