Our Commitment to Equity & Justice.
In June of 2020, Transition House made a public statement committing to “critical examination of our work from an anti-racist lens and staying in consistent and persistent dialogue with people of color in our agency and in our community.” We stand by our words and recognize that moving beyond superficial reform requires dedicated and focused time and attention. In alignment with that goal, we are thrilled to announce we have hired Shameka Gregory for the position of Director of Equity and Justice.
As Director of Equity and Justice, Shameka is working strategically to advance our mission to end domestic violence and strengthen our work through an anti-racist lens. Shameka is playing a leadership role at Transition House as we examine our responses to survivors of domestic violence and those who cause harm in relationships. While intentionally anti-racist, the equity lens includes all marginalized communities, including the LGBTQIA+ community and people of varying abilities.
We are proud to call the City of Cambridge a collaborator in this work, as partial funders for the position. To support us in our mission to continue critically examining our work from an anti-racist lens, use the button below.
