What is a Person of Color?
Borrowing from language from the Facebook group NPOCunicorns - People of Color Nonprofit Professionals, we define People of Color as: "Black/African-American/African descent/African, Latin/Latina/Latino/Latinx, First Nations/Native American/Indigenous, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander, Asian, Southwest Asian, North African/Arab, Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Mixed-Race/Mixed-Ethnicity peoples.
"We appreciate allies, advocates, and accomplices for justice." If you do not identify as a person of color, we ask you to serve as an ally, advocate, and accomplice in other ways.
