This was formed in response to the murder of George Floyd. This discussion group creates a brave space for BSCS staff to discuss Anti-Racist topics through readings, podcasts, documentaries and more. These conversations are peer-led, and meetings are held bi-weekly.

Under this leadership, On June 11, 2020, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts throughout BSCS expanded and continue to flourish today.

In May, under this leadership, the Anti-Racism Committee (ARC) was restructured and re-named the AJEDI (Awareness, Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion) Committee. Program visits started to learn about DEI trends, needs, and goals
and the following teams were formed: Education and Training, Communications, Policy, and Procedures.

BSCS will continue to participate in community cultural celebrations, connecting with organizations to benefit the communities we serve.
