IF WE WERE FREE FROM OPPRESSION, MY VISION FOR WASHTENAW COUNTY WOULD BE: The zip code you live in would no longer determine your economic opportunities, health outcomes or life expectancy. Academic achievement gaps and homelessness would be eliminated. Racism, xenophobia and misogyny would not exist. No one would be marginalized or ostracized. People from every walk of life would work side by side to strengthen our communities. Everyone, regardless of age, race, gender, gender identity, gender expression, income, faith, sexual orientation, or cultural background would have the opportunity to live life to its fullest. All people would be empowered to learn, grow and thrive.
