科赫为反对不公正做了什么.

  查看更多

当不公正阻碍人们前进时,我们整个国家都会遭受痛苦. That’s why Koch has worked for decades to advance programs and policies aimed at disrupting the barriers that have led to our two-tiered society that is failing America’s most vulnerable and holding people back from reaching their extraordinary potential. And it’s why we and our partners have made a long-term commitment supporting efforts to help our country more fully embrace the ideals of equal rights, 包容和授权.

可悲的是, 自成立以来, 我们的社会未能实现人人享有平等权利和正义的承诺. 但每次我们取得进步,更好地实现这些理想, 美国对世界产生了积极的影响.

We stand with those who are peacefully speaking up and acting constructively to remove the barriers that persist in our society, 包括使种族主义制度化和不公正地阻碍许多人前进的障碍.

It’s up to each of us to face these systemic problems that leave so many behind – to have the courage to look within ourselves and work with others to improve the culture and society as a whole.

Koch supports hundreds of individuals and organizations that seek to break down the barriers that hold people back, 通过 its support for the Stand Together philanthropic community and other organizations across the country. At the heart of this work is a commitment to equal rights and a belief in the inherent dignity of every person. Koch is committed to breaking down these barriers to unleash the potential of every person 通过 support of youth development programs and scholars across the country, to reform the criminal justice syhumistem 通过 initiatives such as our pro bono legal efforts, and to help entrepreneurs achieve their potential 通过 business development support.

我们向你们承诺,我们的行动将以正直为基础, humility and mutual respect as we strive to do even more to help overcome these obstacles. 如果我们要变得更强大, listening critically and receptively to the personal experiences and perspectives of others is fundamental.

 

Koch’s support for Stand Together and other partners helps hundreds of organizations in communities across the country in the struggle for equal justice, 尊严和机会. 这里有一些例子.
