EOE Quality of Life Platform
At the soul of this quality of life agenda is a united call for self-determination. We have the right to de- fine, name and speak for ourselves instead of being defined, named and spoken for by others. We have locked arms across issues to understand that the infection called structural racism is not issue spe- cific. We are prepared to organize to make America be her best self. Our job is to impact America, not integrate into the status quo of “state sponsored sabotage” of our lives. Equity or Else.
