We are deeply grateful to the other constituents of MCC who publicly joined us in calling on MCC to strengthen its commitment to being anti-racist and committed to withhold a portion of their usual giving to the organization. Together, we forced MCC to take a deeper look at some of our shared concerns.
The previous post is a copy of our most recent communication with MCC administrators. As you will see in the letter, we are ending our call to withhold funds. We are ready to put our energies toward other anti-racist efforts within Anabaptist circles, and frankly, we haven’t seen much to celebrate in MCC’s response to our call for greater anti-racist accountability.
We hope and believe that the Anti-Racist Accountability document sent to MCC and included at the bottom of the post will be a helpful resource to anyone seeking to be more accountable to communities of color. Visitors to the blog are welcome and encouraged to put it to good use!
In solidarity and with hope,
The Anti-Racism Constituent Action Group
