RCP Principles
Equity in practice
Rocket City Pride is guided by the principle that every person possesses inherent worth and dignity, and we are committed to fostering a community that is free from discrimination in all its forms. We affirm and protect the full diversity of our community, including differences in race, religion, age, nationality, culture, ability, health, socioeconomic background, sexual orientation, and gender identity or expression. We commit not only to inclusion, but to equity in practice, holding ourselves accountable for advancing diversity, representation, and fairness in our programs, leadership, and decision-making. We strive to cultivate a culture of respect, understanding, and shared responsibility, and we actively work toward gender and racial parity across all areas of our organization.
