Take Charge

A racism-free community is both the right and
responsibility of all members of the community.

The North Shore Racism Response Protocol
is intended to help us each take a STEP toward
building a safer, more inclusive North Shore.

Racism Response Protocol

The Protocol is divided into 4 key sections:

Safety & Prevention

Dismantling racism at its roots to create a more inclusive, equitable community where everyone is welcome, supported, and empowered.

Taking Charge

Rather than being passive observers, active intervention is a widespread community commitment to keep each
other safe.

Event Documentation & Reporting

This can help victims feel heard, and can
help the community develop a better plan of action.

Providing Care

In order to recover and restore a sense of safety,
people need timely, accessible, trauma-informed,
and culturally appropriate support.
