We appreciate the vibrancy of differences, center the voices of silenced and marginalized people, and champion universal rights.<\/p>\n<p>We welcome change and work to reverse historic oppression. We promise to educate ourselves to end the dominant cultural practices of White\u00a0supremacy, ableism, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, anti-Indigenous practices, religious oppression, and all other obstacles to personal authenticity and achievement. We support our partners and members of our community who are marginalized to restore justice and dignity.<\/p>\n<p>At Lifeworks, we expect accountability from all employees and our Board of Directors. We know that we cannot be truly person-centered unless we celebrate all identities \u2013 emphasizing authenticity over conformity.<\/p>\n<p>At Lifeworks, we partner with complete human beings with intersectional identities, recognizing that disability exists in every race, religion, gender, culture, and class and that most of us will experience disability at some point in our lives. We recognize we have made mistakes and will continue to evolve with humility and openness,\u00a0placing psychological safety, equity, and belonging over comfort. Lifeworks recognizes that in the best interests of our community, we must approach disability through the lens of diverse perspectives.<\/p>\n<p>We call upon our diverse community to hold us accountable.<\/p>\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3818","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.3 (Yoast SEO v26.3) -
