New York Mennonite Immigration Program acknowledges the pain, fear, anger, and despair that our communities of color feel due to the systematic inequality and mistreatment stemming from America’s long history of colonialism and racism towards people of color. The recent deaths of George Floyd, Brionna Taylor, Ahmed Aubrey, are just three of an endless list of black people killed by police in our country. New York Mennonite Immigration Program stands in solidarity with our black communities as we work to heal ourselves from the senseless violence and loss of black lives throughout the United States of America.
We commit ourselves to creating equity, promoting dignity, and justice to immigrant communities in New York City, namely communities of color.
We commit ourselves to speak out against racial injustice, microaggressions, white saviorism, and colonist ideologies which strengthen a culture of white supremacy within our nation.
We commit ourselves to maintain a culturally and racially diverse workforce and
Board.
Finally, we do not shy away from the knowledge that the peace we seek and work to achieve MUST be reciprocated with reparation and justice for people of color.

Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it.
