The WeRISE for Greater Westerville organization was formed in 2021 with the mission to eradicate individual and structural racism in the greater Westerville community. In support of this mission, we will lead collaborative anti-racism efforts, driving meaningful, lasting and equitable change. We will form relationships with underrepresented communities, build equitable partnerships, make concrete changes to policies and programs, and increase public accountability, relevance, and value. We exist to enable community organizations to share power with people who they may previously have excluded or ignored.
