PROTEC17 is committed to being an anti-racist organization
PROTEC17 unequivocally supports fairness, equity, and opportunity for all working people, therefore we cannot be complicit in perpetuating systemic racism. We stand alongside our Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) members and community leaders to demand racial and economic justice, and a world in which we can all be safe and healthy. We commit to action and sustainable change through the work we do and the power we have as an organization.
