The Longmont Multicultural Action Committee (LMAC) stands in solidarity with those who demand civil rights and social justice for all during this devastating and heartbreaking time in our country. The members of LMAC share a collective commitment to building community by engaging and learning to bridge cultural differences that value diversity and inclusion among the Longmont community.
LMAC has worked for many years to build community through education, celebration, and crucial conversations that help our community move toward the removal of barriers. Our strength as a community depends on our ability to understand, value, and recognize communities of color and LGBTQ as important assets. Taking action to identify obstacles is key to removing injustice and creating equity that will enable future generations to have access to social, economic, and political power. The work begins within ourselves: question our own beliefs, learn about the history of this nation and the history of our own community in Longmont, and understand how our role in society has played a part in where we are today and how it will continue to play a part moving forward.
We believe in the people of Longmont working together to be a caring and inclusive community—proud to embrace, respect, and celebrate each other.
With respect and in solidarity,
The Longmont Multicultural Action Committee
The Longmont Multicultural Action Committee is committed to advocating and working together to create a caring, inclusive, and equitable community that embraces, respects, celebrates, and learns from each other.
